Modern medicine has a problem: despite impressive advances in technology, progress in drug development has slowed since the 1950s, as discovering and trialling new therapies has become more complex and expensive.

In this episode we explore how a convergence of healthcare technologies, and in particular artificial intelligence, promise to speed up and lower the cost of drug discovery and development—and the implications for medical breakthroughs and the economics of healthcare.

With guests Andrew Hopkins of Exscientia, Carina Namih of Episode1 Ventures, Peter Richardson of BenevolentAI, and industry advisor Steve Lipset.
