Embracing the paradigm shift of agentic AI could lead to massive advancements in healthcare as we know it.
The complexity of biology has long been a double-edged sword for scientific and medical progress. On one hand, the intricacy of systems (like the human immune response) offers countless opportunities for breakthroughs in medicine and healthcare. On the other hand, that very complexity has often stymied researchers, leaving some of the most significant medical challenges—like cancer or autoimmune diseases—without clear solutions.
The field needs a way to decipher this incredible complexity. Could the rise of agentic AI, artificial intelligence capable of autonomous decision-making and action, be the key to breaking through this impasse?
Agentic AI is not just another tool in the...
