What’s next for data-driven medicine - and what AI-powered innovation needs now: insitro CEO Daphne Koller

Daphne Koller is an AI pioneer, MacArthur fellow, member of the National Academy of sciences and the founder and CEO of drug discovery and development company insitro. She’ll talk about how attitudes surrounding AI have evolved in her multi-decade career and what's ahead - including how technology is reshaping drug discovery, paving the way for more targeted treatments for the patients who can benefit most. But maximizing AI-powered innovation will depend on better investments in data aggregation, quality and collection and navigating hype cycles that can distract from real impact. This academic-turned-entrepreneur will also share how founding insitro (and a previous company, Coursera) helped her expand her leadership and management skills, all while driving home the importance of shaping a company culture. At insitro, this focus building a culture that works for unique needs led to a special ‘helix’ inspired-structure that helps discovery biologists, automation engineers and others in the company's cross-functional teams keep communication flowing, problem solve, and prevent the siloes that can hold true innovation back.

How bridging design gaps in science and tech can tackle global gender bias

Gaps in the design of everything from AI to pharmaceuticals lead to everything from safety risk to poor health outcomes. Ngina Muntean, the chief of innovation at the United Nations Population Fund, is looking to fix this, making research and design more inclusive for everyone. Her agency launched the Equity 2030 Alliance last year bringing together leaders in tech and pharma and other sectors to share best practices. Its experts in academia, government and business come together to help advocate for new standards in equitable investment, and to champion more gender-inclusive approaches to tech and design. The group is coming upon its first year anniversary which it celebrated during this year's UN General Assembly Week in New York City at the Summit of the Future. Nigina is also a former physician and a public health expert who understands how investments in research and design impact the lives of everyday people, especially those with the least resources.

Individual freedoms, liberties, rights

I might increase the # of stars ⭐️ if you can guarantee to uphold individual rights, liberties and freedoms citizens hold dear. If not, 3 ⭐️. Too much could be lost. Management and decision making should stay local to be effective. One size doesn’t fit all. Sacrifice, hard work and courage from community members within their own communities would absolutely build and strengthen communities. Global management sounds very risky w/ a potential for failure. Failure on a global level sounds nightmarish. And what about the danger of individuals gaining too much control and power over others? That’s a realistic danger. We should look outside ourselves for “salvation”. God is on our side. 🦠🗽🕊🙏🏻😷

Thank you for sharing what these global conversations are

It’s amazing to be able to hear the dialogue of the WEF, especially with so many not realizing the role that committed industry leaders play to improving poverty and risk reduction. It’s interesting that people are so paranoid about one of the only actually effective groups that are trying to reduce pollution and make the world better for everyone. The only solution to our climate crisis is having poor countries have help to develop and leapfrog with green tech in exchange for conservation and clean development. The other outcome is a global meltdown.
