Making the list for AI

Regina Barzilay—recently named to the TIME100 list for her work on machine learning AI models to predict disease—shares insights into the present and future of AI and medicine.

At the MIT Sloan School's Ideas Made to Matter blog, Barzilay explains three ways AI is currently empowering clinicians, from speeding up the mundane task of note taking to assisting with the complexities of reading images and providing tailored patient guidance. In Nature Biotechnology, Barzilay and her co-authors outline strategies for developing AI models that are capable of opening up vast classes of so-called "undruggable" targets for the discovery of new cancer therapies.
