#26: How AI Accelerates Drug Development - Patrick Leung

In this episode of The Deep View Conversations, we sit down with Patrick Leung, CTO of Faro Health — a startup using artificial intelligence to streamline and reimagine clinical trials. What began as a push to speed up drug development turned into something bigger: a mission to reduce suffering, elevate consciousness, and reshape how we think about AI’s role in health and society.Patrick walks us through the challenges of clinical trial design, the limits of large language models, and how thoughtful AI implementation could unlock faster, safer, and more inclusive access to medicine.We also go beyond tech to explore deep questions: Is AI truly intelligent? How do we balance speed and safety? And are we building tools — or something closer to gods?
