OpenAI President Brockman: AI Can Speed Drug Discovery and Match Patients to Research

Cointime update: OpenAI co-founder and president Greg Brockman said on the No Priors podcast that AI could accelerate drug discovery and help patients and doctors find relevant treatment clues buried in vast medical literature. He said some diseases lack treatments not because none exist but because research is scattered across papers that are hard to locate in time. Brockman said such capabilities could have real impact in the near term, and also cited materials science as another area where AI can improve research efficiency.
