Here is an excellent confirmation that AI-generated drugs can indeed perform well in clinical trials.

"In Phase I we find AI-discovered molecules have an 80–90% success rate, substantially higher than historic industry averages.

This suggests, we argue, that AI is highly capable of designing or identifying molecules with drug-like properties.

In Phase II the success rate is ∼40%, albeit on a limited sample size, comparable to historic industry averages."

According to the graph, there have been over 60 AI generated drugs in clinical trials only in 2023.

Using AI for this purpose seems inevitable and based on studies like this, not using them would be a missed opportunity.

That's why I've been telling pharma companies during my keynotes for many years to start turning their attention and investments towards AI specifically in the drug design, discovery and repurposing domains.

⚡️Can AI's speed and humanity's depth converge for a new era of "aha!" moments? ⚡️

👉The Harmony of AI Speed and Human Contemplation

In that legendary moment when Archimedes burst from his bath, he immortalized the transcendent power of human "aha" moment. His cry of "Eureka!" echoed through the ages, an embodiment of those instants when profound realizations bloom from the meandering pathways of the mind. Such "contemplative epiphanies" have catalyzed some of humanity's most significant leaps—from groundbreaking scientific theories to timeless works of artistic genius.

As we push into the "Cognitive Age" of unprecedented acceleration catalyzed by large language models (LLMs), a paradox looms: in our feverish race to harness AI for maximum efficiency, are we inadvertently sacrificing the contemplative depths that birthed history's most transcendent "Eureka!" moments—those revelations that reshaped our world?

The Diverging Paths

On one path lies the seductive promise of LLMs—rapid, associative thinking that generates insights at a pace far exceeding the boundaries of the unaugmented human mind. This cognitive velocity holds vast potential, particularly in domains demanding swift decision-making, such as emergency response, scientific discovery, or crisis management. In essescence, it's thinking at the speed of life.

On the other path meanders the slower, more contemplative mode of human thought—a richly personal process shaped by the tapestry of lived experiences, emotions, and the serendipitous convergence of disparate ideas. From this fertile ground of the subconscious emerge the sparks of profound realizations, creative breakthroughs, and enduring wisdom. Here, it's thinking at the depth of life.

The Elusive "Aha" Moment

Yet there exists a nexus where cognitive velocity and contemplative depth converge, yielding those elusive "aha" moments. These flashes of insight, these eureka instants that redefine our understanding, often arise from the harmonious interplay of rapid cognition and deep reflection.

The mind, augmented by the speed and breadth of AI-driven associations, can surface novel connections at an accelerated pace. But it is the subsequent human contemplation—the rumination and emotional integration of these ideas—that kindles the true spark of insight. Just as a lightning bolt requires a buildup of charged particles, our most profound realizations demand the convergence of cognitive velocity and contemplative depth. The mind, primed by AI's rapid synthesis yet grounded in the richness of subjective experience, can give rise to transcendent moments of clarity that reshape our world.

The Indispensable Role of Neural Pathways

Taking a closer look at this paradox, we shouldn't overlook the irreplaceable value of finely-tuned neural pathways—the "brain muscle memory" cultivated through years of lived experience. These well-trodden paths act as cognitive instruments, honed over time to analyze information, connect ideas, and solve problems with nuanced intricacy.

Just as a virtuoso musician relies on toned muscle memory to perform intricate pieces, so too do our brains harness these hard-wired pathways to masterfully improvise solutions, infusing logic with flourishes of creativity and emotional intelligence. This cognitive craftsmanship, refined through the crucible of subjective experiences, ensures our thinking remains textured, contextualized, and fundamentally human.

While LLMs may match or exceed raw computational speed, their outputs can sometimes lack the seasoned quality that arises from neural pathways steeped in the chronicles of individual human journeys. As we integrate AI's cognitive velocity, we must preserve the richness of our biological mechanisms—the cerebral ethos that allows us to navigate ambiguity, merge analysis with intuition, and distill solutions imbued with empathetic resonance.

Toward Cognitive Harmony

The path forward lies not in choosing one mode of thought over the other, but in finding a harmonious integration of AI and human contemplation. This might involve developing cognitive strategies that allocate certain tasks to the rapid processing capabilities of LLMs, while reserving others for slower, more reflective human-led processes. It could mean designing AI systems that actively encourage contemplative thought, prompting users to reflect, consider alternative perspectives, and take restorative breaks that allow ideas to marinate and evolve organically.

Crucially, it will require a cultural shift—a renewed appreciation for the virtues of patience, of sitting with discomfort, of allowing insights to take shape gradually. In a world obsessed with speed, we must reclaim the art of contemplation, recognizing it as the fertile soil from which our most enduring realizations have blossomed.

The aha moment belongs to us all—and it's crucial to embrace the paradox of speed and introspection wholeheartedly. It's in the delicate balance between velocity and contemplation that we may unlock the full potential of human cognition, propelling us toward a future where the power of AI serves not to diminish, but to enhance the unique abilities of the human mind.
