Moderna CEO says AI will help scientists understand ‘most diseases’ in 3 to 5 years

Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel said Thursday that with the help of AI scientists will likely “understand most diseases” in the next three to five years, in what will be a “first for humans on the planet.”

“If you understand the disease, you will find a way to go fix it,” Bancel said at Semafor’s World Economy Summit. “The reason we still have people dying of cancer, people suffering from Alzheimers, is we do not understand the fundamental biology of those diseases.”
