Physician-scientist David Fajgenbaum was dying from a rare disease that didn't have a cure — until he discovered a lifesaving drug that wasn't originally intended for his condition. In an astonishing talk, he shares how his near-death experience led him to cofound the nonprofit Every Cure, which is using AI to uncover hidden treatments in existing medicines in order to save lives. (This ambitious idea is part of The Audacious Project, TED’s initiative to inspire and fund global change.)
医科学家大卫 ·费根邦(David Fajgenbaum)曾因为一种无药可治的罕见病而命悬一线,直到他自己发现了一种药救了自己,而这个药最初并不是用于他的病。在这个挑战人们常识的演讲里,他分享了自己这段与死神擦肩而过的经历,并由此而和他人共同创立了 Every Cure。该组织致力于借助 AI 来发现现有药物的隐藏疗法,以拯救更多的生命。(这个雄心勃勃的想法是由 TED 发起的 “大胆计划” 的一部分,目的是激励并资助那些影响全球的变革。)
