AI models are already capable enough to save lives by using existing medicine.

The best example is the use of AI models to power drug repurposing.

Drug patents usually expire after a few decades , so there’s little incentive to study additional uses for them.

This type of AI might benefit hundreds of millions of people worldwide who suffer from rare, difficult-to-treat diseases.

Dr. Matt Might is working on drug repurposing with the help of AI .

He and his team at the University of Alabama developed an AI model that helped them treat a 19-year-old patient with chronic vomiting.

The AI suggested the young patient inhale isopropyl alcohol through the nose, which is usually used as an antiseptic.
