Satya Nadella highlighted tangible AI impacts in fields like drug discovery, citing accelerated pace and breakthroughs such as AlphaFold. He also pointed to significant productivity gains in software development through code reasoning and advances in automated scientific discovery in materials science.
“I think the the immediate examples that I can point to are things like, uh, the productivity that we saw in drug discovery, right? Because uh, the pace of discovery there, uh, has been sort of, uh, you know, it's moving at a pace that's unheard of.”
“And then in drug discovery, I think, you know, maybe something like, uh, you know, uh, protein folding, uh, Alpha fold. Which has actually, you know, enabled, uh, so much of the, you know, biology that we just didn't know, uh, was knowable.”
“And then, you know, another example is, uh, you know, the way we're able to actually have, uh, um, you know, sort of automated, uh, scientific discovery, uh, in areas like materials science.”
