It is rare to witness a new era that could be as momentous as a milestone such as the stone age or the ages that marked our mastery of metals since the dawn of humanity. The era we are living in right now may be one of those times. Just like we replicated the horse's leg in the form of a car and the bird's wing in the form of an airplane, we may have replicated the brain in the form of Artificial Intelligence (AI). This development is affecting nearly every profession, including those in the fields of science and medicine. In this salon, Dr. eMalick G. Njie together with moderator John Hilmes (Chief Experience Officer, KinectAir) will lead an open and accessible discussion about AI, particularly how it is impacting the fields of genetics and neuroscience.
Bio: Dr. Njie, who previously served as a senior scientist studying neurogenetics in a Nobel Prize-winning laboratory at Columbia University, was early to recognize the immense potential of AI. In 2016, he established a genetics and AI company called Genetic Intelligence (GI). This company was the first medical AI company emerging from Columbia University. Dr. Njie also played a vital role in launching PrismsVR which recently raised a Series A from Andreessen Horowitz and has garnered attention in VentureBeat and Business Insider. Currently, Dr. Njie is dedicated to Ecotone, a company building a Large Genomic Model (LGM) and has parallels to the generative Large Language Models (LLM) popularized by OpenAI’s chatGPT. Ecotone’s LGM is paving the way for AI-engineered Precision Medicines, revolutionizing the treatment of inherited diseases.
