We often hear about AI's potential to generate text and code, but its application in healthcare and life sciences promises a more profound impact: solving our most fundamental challenges in disease and medicine. This isn't just about applying existing LLMs; it's about building entirely new foundation models that understand the complex language of biology itself. To explore this new frontier, Red Hat CTO Chris Wright speaks with Dr. Jianying Hu, an IBM Fellow, Global Science Leader of AI for Health, and Director of Healthcare and Life Sciences Research at IBM. Dr. Hu shares her extensive insights and expertise on: • The fundamental shift from general-purpose LLMs to domain-specific AI foundation models that learn the complex, multimodal language of biology. • How these new models power ""in silico"" simulations to accelerate drug discovery, validate new experiments, and test therapeutic efficacy. • The critical role of collaboration in applying AI, as seen in the IBM & Cleveland Clinic Discovery Accelerator, to create models that lead to personalized medicine. • Why open science and shared community benchmarks are essential for driving the next wave of medical breakthroughs. Join in as they explore how this foundational, collaborative work is creating a new paradigm for scientific discovery. And discover why the future of medicine isn't just about a single AI model, but about building an open, iterative ecosystem that combines deep domain expertise with the power of AI to understand biology from the ground up.
