Mark Zuckerberg & Priscilla Chan: How AI Will Cure All Disease

Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) discuss their strategy to accelerate scientific discovery through the Biohub, an operating philanthropy at the intersection of frontier AI and biology. They detail the development of foundational tools like the Cell Atlas, a 'periodic table for biology,' and their new focus on building virtual cell models to allow scientists to test high-risk hypotheses in silico, ultimately aiming to cure, prevent, and manage all diseases.
