A British tech unicorn is trying to cure Alzheimer's and ALS with artificial intelligence

The Ice Bucket Challenge raised awareness of the disease ALS in 2014. There is no cure for Alzheimer's, even though it's one of the most common diseases in older people. It takes a lot of time and money to produce even the most everyday medicines, let alone a cure for something like Alzheimer's. According to the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry, it costs £1.12 billion and up to 12 years to develop a single drug. Imagine if artificial intelligence could speed that process up.
