The excerpt is from a multi-speaker interview/panel or presentation (speakers labeled SPEAKER A and SPEAKER B) about AI's accelerating impact on healthcare and drug discovery. SPEAKER A emphasizes rapid iteration and gives an IBM anecdote claiming a project reduced typical drug development timelines from 10 years to 2 months (and suggests today it could be done in a week). SPEAKER B notes the growing number of AI-enabled medical device applications to the FDA and observes that many professions (e.g., lawyers) still scarcely use AI in daily work. Metadata indicates the source is a YouTube video; no individual participant names are provided in the transcript.

What I'm talking about now, a lot of you are going, "What is this guy talking about? Is this possible?" What's the most amazing point is not only is possible, is that when you get that conclusion, you can ask a question, 'cause remember, we're human beings, we always go, "Hmm, but what if?" And a few seconds later, you have the next question. Iterations of innovation, the level of innovation we're gonna be at, or we are at, this is not future. You got a mobile phone, you have it with you. Where we're at now, we've never been here before. This is beyond exciting. It is. And when it comes to healthcare, yes, right now there's so many famous stories of AI having found protein combinations that we've never seen before, and pharmaceutical companies are gonna make billions because they have new products coming to market. When I was with IBM several years ago, we had a solution where we guaranteed a pharmaceutical company we could take the, usually it would take them 10 years from when they started researching or something, when they brought a drug to market, we said we could take you from 10 years to 2. By the time we actually did our second project, we had it 10 years to 2 months. And that was a project from 4 years ago. I guess today we could do it in probably a week. It's just accelerating and accelerating and accelerating and accelerating.
Just something I've always wondered is, you know, I remember reading about the first, you know, usages of AI probably 10 years ago in healthcare. And yet today we see a lot of, you know, AI startups, AI companies, AI products that are starting to come through. I mean, I think the FDA is going to see 1,000 applications this year for AI-enabled, you know, medical devices. But today, even in 2024, we don't touch AI that much. Lawyers.
In our daily work as lawyers, as doctors and surgeons.
