Scientific Advances in Artificial Intelligence - PFM

Before we delve into how AI will change drug development, environmental simulation, and gene sequencing, we must look at how we got here. In 2011, Mark Andresen, the creator of the Netscape web browser and a leading technology investor, wrote a long article in the Wall Street Journal. At the time, the stock market was in turmoil, and no one knew what to make of these new tech companies going public. Many people said it was a giant bubble, just like the dot-com era ten years ago. But Andresen saw things differently. He argued that software is eating the world. Soon every industry will be transformed or disrupted by technology.
