AI in healthcare. Does AI provide answer to the problme of drug discovery

R&D is critical in the world of healthcare, but it is also tricky; progress is slow, and further progress is hampered by the way different researchers and drug developers work in silos, data is kept secret, locked away from the rest of the world. Can AI in healthcare come to the rescue? Vas Narasimhan, CEO at Novartis, recently warned of a problem finding new data. In an interview with Bloomberg, he said that this lack of data has in part caused his initial enthusiasm for AI to turn more cautious. This may yet prove to be the single biggest hurdle in applying AI in healthcare to help find cures to new diseases, extend life, and improve the quality of life.
