The CEO of Google DeepMind claims that AI could cure all diseases in ten years. Aravind Srinivas of Perplexity concurs.
Within the next ten years, Demis Hassabis, co-founder and CEO of Google DeepMind, believes that AI models could cure every illness. Rival Aravind Srinivas, CEO of Perplexity AI, endorsed his assertions, calling Hassabis a genius.

Demis Hassabis, the CEO and co-founder of Google DeepMind, has forecast that the new AI models may not only aid in the treatment of illnesses but may even bring about the abolition of all ailments. Rival and Perplexity AI CEO Aravind Srinivas quickly praised Hassabis's statement, calling him a "genius" in an unexpected display of support.
"So on average, it takes, you know, ten years and billions of dollars to design just one drug," Hassabis stated in an interview with CBS' 60 Minutes on Sunday, April 20. We might be able to cut that down from years to months or even weeks. which, although it sounds amazing now, is also how people once thought about protein structures.
Additionally, it would transform human health, and with AI's assistance, perhaps we could one day cure every illness.
The 48-year-old British scientist said, "I think that's within reach," in response to the question of whether AI will result in the abolition of all ailments. I don't see why not, perhaps within the next ten or so years.
Aravind Srinivas commented, "Demis is a genius and he should be given all resources in the world to make this happen," in response to a video of Hassabis' interview on X (previously Twitter).
Notably, Perplexity AI's main offering is a search engine driven by AI that goes up against Google directly. In an effort to challenge Google Chrome's hegemony, the AI startup also intends to release a new agentic browser.
In a single year, AI completed one billion years of PhD work: Hassabis
Hassabis added that by mapping 200 million protein structures, his current AI could finish a billion years of PhD work in a single year.
Hassabis recently claimed, "So we did a billion years of PhD time in one year," in an interview with Reid Hoffman, the CEO of LinkedIn. As a general rule, it used to take a PhD student their whole degree to find a single protein structure. After four or five years, we were able to fold all 200 million of the known proteins in a single year. And we can comprehend what goes wrong in sickness if we know the function. And by understanding this structure, we can create medications and compounds that will attach to the appropriate region of the protein's surface. Thus, it's an intriguing issue.
