Healthcare built for you: AI and the personalization of medicine

To celebrate AI right now almost feels dangerous, because of the widespread and increasingly intense backlash against it. I myself have written about the dangers of AI, not least in these pages, so I understand the anti-AI sentiment. But we must be careful not to throw the baby out with the bathwater. When my team and I wrote Transcend in 2024, we talked of two sides to AI—the dangerous side, yes, but also the side that had the potential to uplift humanity and create things of unimaginable benefit to all of us. And I have a deeply personal connection to the positive side, a connection that came about through my son, and one of the hardest things a parent could ever have to hear. In the midst of doom and gloom, it may provide a sliver of optimism and remind us that AI is truly a philosopher’s stone—capable of great damage in the wrong hands, and equally great benefit when used well. {"blockType":"mv-promo-block","data":{"imageDesktopUrl":"https:\/\/images.fastcompany.com\/image\/upload\/f_webp,q_auto,c_fit\/wp-cms-2\/2025\/10\/creator-faisalhoque.png","imageMobileUrl":"https:\/\/images.fastcompany.com\/image\/upload\/f_webp,q_auto,c_fit\/wp-cms-2\/2025\/10\/faisal-hoque.png","eyebr…
