New AI-generated COVID drug enters Phase I clinical trials: 'Effective against all variants'

FOX News

PsychoGenics CEO Emer Leahy of Paramus, New Jersey, explains how the first potential AI-discovered treatment for schizophrenia was developed through machine learning. Fox News Digital spoke with her. Artificial intelligence is increasingly moving into the health care arena and helping to streamline medical processes -- including the creation of new drugs. Insilico Medicine, an AI-driven biotech company based in Hong Kong and in New York City, recently announced that its new AI-designed drug for COVID-19 has entered Phase I clinical trials. This oral drug is a treatment, not a vaccine.


Data Validation and Data Verification – From Dictionary to Machine Learning - KDnuggets

#artificialintelligence

Quite often, we use data verification and data validation interchangeably when we talk about data quality. However, these two terms are distinct. Table 1 explains dictionary meaning of the words verification and validation with a few examples. To summarize, verification is about truth and accuracy, while validation is about supporting the strength of a point of view or the correctness of a claim. Validation checks the correctness of a methodology while verification checks the accuracy of the results. Now that we understand the literal meaning of the two words, let's explore the difference between "data verification" and "data validation".


Silicon Valley's race to develop a brain-computer interface

#artificialintelligence

Entrepreneur Bryan Johnson says he wanted to become very rich in order to do something great for humankind. Last year Johnson, founder of the online payments company Braintree, starting making news when he threw $100 million behind Kernel, a startup he founded to enhance human intelligence by developing brain implants capable of linking people's thoughts to computers. Johnson isn't alone in believing that "neurotechnology" could be the next big thing. To many in Silicon Valley, the brain looks like an unconquered frontier whose importance dwarfs any achievement made in computing or the Web. According to neuroscientists, several figures from the tech sector are currently scouring labs across the U.S. for technology that might fuse human and artificial intelligence.


Column: One step, then another. With determination and new therapies, there's hope for paralysis patients

Los Angeles Times

Ignacio Montoya pauses, gathers strength, takes a step. With the assistance of a walker, an exoskeleton suit and robotic legs that are attached to his own and help propel him forward, Montoya is making his way up and down the promenade along the water's edge at the Marina del Rey boat basin, next to the Trader Joe's. "Christopher Reeve would be amazed," says UCLA scientist Reggie Edgerton, who worked with the late actor and is now watching Montoya's every move. But some improvements in function, thought impossible until recent years, are now being realized. Montoya was nearly killed in 2012 when a minivan crossed into his path while he was on his motorcycle.

MLOps – "Why is it required?" and "What it is"? - KDnuggets

#artificialintelligence

Machine Learning (ML) models built by data scientists represent a small fraction of the components that comprise an enterprise production deployment workflow, as illustrated in Fig 1 [1] below. To operationalize ML models, data scientists are required to work closely with multiple other teams such as business, engineering, and operations. This represents organizational challenges in terms of communication, collaboration, and coordination. The goal of MLOps is to streamline such challenges with well-established practices. Additionally, MLOps brings about agility and speed that is a cornerstone in today's digital world.


How big pharma is using AI for drug discovery, clinical trials, and more

#artificialintelligence

Like almost any field in the healthcare industry pharma wants to get in on the latest technology trends. Recently big pharma has been looking to artificial intelligence as another tool to help facilitate drug research and help the company progress. At the World Medical Innovation Forum in Boston on April 24, a panel of pharma leaders discussed the future of AI in the industry. "It's quite top of mind for us at Novartis as we are reimagining life science companies like ours as medicines companies powered by data and digital and also because the radical advances, perhaps driven by consumer applications of this critical vector of computer science, have overt, immediate, and profound downstream relevance," Dr. Jay Bradner, president of Novartis Institutes for Biomedical Research, said at Tuesday's event. That doesn't mean companies are ready to replace their researchers with robots anytime soon. Instead Bradner explained these tools are expected to help scientists.
