Episode 44: Genomes and Algorithms: How AI is Rewriting the Future of Medicine

On this episode of AI Ignited, host Elif Baser is joined by Defne Baysal to explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping the world of genomic medicine. From AI-powered models that predict genetic risks for cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s, to cutting-edge pharmacogenomics that tailor drug prescriptions to your unique DNA, this episode uncovers how data and biology are merging to create truly personalized healthcare.Drawing on research from Stanford, MIT, Queen Mary University of London, and the Broad Institute, we discuss breakthroughs in AI-driven DNA analysis, the ethical dilemmas around privacy and bias, and the future of precision medicine. Could your genome one day guide every prescription you take? And how do we ensure this revolution benefits everyone? The future of medicine is written in our DNA — and AI is learning to read it.
