Bold prediction: cures for every disease by 2030
davidpattersonx · x · 2026-09-19
A terse but provocative claim: "There will be cures for every disease by 2030." No argument or sourcing is provided. Predictions like this rest on the assumption that AI dramatically accelerates drug discovery and biomedical research; scientifically, covering every disease in five years is a stretch, but the claim captures how aggressively some technologists extrapolate the AI-for-Science curve. Worth recording as a falsifiable prediction.
