#2"The tool, called mediKanren, scanned millions of biomedical abstracts hunting for relationships between existing compounds and the gene involved in the disease."
Is this AI or someone put the effort into compiling a database and added automatic search function?

Reminds me of minikanren and I think this may be related

#4> Proof-of-concept for reasoning over medical knowledge graphs, using miniKanren + heuristics + indexing.

Isn't that all AI is in its current state? Just like computer chess. It knows the moves, and can calculate possibles and iterate through them way faster than a human. It's not like it is thinking for itself saying, what happens if I try this. The devs of the AI point it in a direction, and it sorts through things much more deeply and faster than humans.
All of that is great when we get useable information or even when it exhausts all options to no positive result. It's just another tool to find out answers. The term AI is used waaaay too broadly.

That was the state of AI in the 90's. AlphaGo Zero and AlphaZero have shown that it does not need to search exhaustively when it can search intelligently using reinforcement learning. The 'direction' is something the system learns and is not given by the devs.

#7Uh oh, here come the ketamine hucksters.

Take out 'exhaustively', though, and everything parent comment said is correct. AI is just (big data + statistical inference) implemented in massively parallel ways using linear algebra.

I worked at a biomedical informatics shop that did this very thing by AI/ML 10 years ago. Essentially: automated metanalysis.
