What’s happening in AI right now

The dawn of digital health innovation

The race to revolutionize healthcare through artificial intelligence has entered a remarkable new phase, with an explosion of breakthroughs that integrate AI technology directly into medical research and patient care. Most notably, 75 AI-discovered drug molecules are now entering clinical trials, marking a dramatic acceleration in the traditionally lengthy drug development process. This milestone comes alongside AMD's $20 million strategic investment in Absci Corporation to enhance AI-driven drug discovery platforms.

The rise of digital diagnostics

The consumer health tech landscape is undergoing equally dramatic changes. At CES 2025, several companies unveiled AI-powered devices that blur the line between consumer gadgets and medical tools. Withings introduced the Omnia smart mirror, which combines mirror technology with comprehensive health tracking capabilities. L'Oréal revealed Cell BioPrint, a credit card-sized device that performs detailed biological skin assessments in just five minutes.

The promise and perils of AI in medicine

While these advances are promising, they come with important caveats. Recent research from NYU has revealed that large language models can be easily compromised with medical misinformation by altering just 0.001% of their training data. This potential vulnerability has prompted companies like Movano to develop specialized solutions - their EvieAI chatbot is trained exclusively on peer-reviewed medical journals and FDA-approved sources.

The next frontier: virtual biology

Perhaps most intriguingly, we're seeing the emergence of AI-powered virtual cell simulations that could fundamentally change how biological research is conducted. This technology allows scientists to predict cellular behavior without physical experiments, potentially transforming drug development and disease research. While still in early stages, experts suggest this could dramatically accelerate the discovery process, though creating complete virtual cell simulations.

In parallel, innovative applications of AI in medical imaging are emerging. Virgo is pioneering the use of MetaAI's DINOv2 computer vision technology to analyze endoscopy videos and predict patient outcomes. With over 1.75 million procedure videos in their database, this approach demonstrates how AI can extract new insights from existing medical data and apply them to patient care.

Looking ahead

These developments suggest we're entering a new era where AI doesn't just assist healthcare - it becomes fundamentally integrated into how we understand and treat the body.
