Summary:

  • Onco-Innovations has started a project in collaboration with Kuano to accelerate the development of PNKP inhibitor technology using AI and quantum mechanics.
  • Using AI, they aim to design new molecular structures for drugs, improving the accuracy and speed of treatments.
  • Leveraging Kuano’s quantum molecular modeling, they aim to develop next-generation cancer therapies.

2. Considering the Background

The field of cancer treatment is always in need of new technologies. Traditional treatments have faced issues such as side effects and limitations in effectiveness. AI and quantum technology hold the potential to address these challenges. Particularly, with the capability for detailed simulations at the molecular level, more precise drug development is expected. Let’s consider the future brought about by the evolution of these technologies.

3. What Will the Future Look Like?

Hypothesis 1 (Neutral): A Future Where AI and Quantum Technology Become Commonplace

AI and quantum technology become standard tools in drug development, streamlining the creation of treatment methods. Researchers will be able to approach new drug development more flexibly and provide treatments tailored to each individual patient. As a result, the role of AI in the medical field will gain even more importance.

Hypothesis 2 (Optimistic): A Future with Significant Advances in Cancer Treatment

The fusion of AI and quantum technology will lead to remarkable progress in cancer treatment. Treatment methods with fewer side effects will be developed one after another, leading to a future where cancer can be managed as a chronic disease. Patients will feel more secure receiving treatment, and trust in the medical field will increase.

Hypothesis 3 (Pessimistic): A Future Where Technology Declines

If technological advancements do not keep pace, and the expected results are not achieved, investment in research and development could stagnate, risking the loss of technology itself. Consequently, the options available for patient treatment may decrease, and the evolution of healthcare could come to a standstill.

4. Tips We Can Consider

Thought Process Tips

  • Calmly assess the impact of technological advancements.
  • Consider how new treatment methods can benefit you or those close to you.

Small Practical Tips
