Eli Lilly CEO responds to "AI will cure cancer within a decade": a nice vision, but unlikely

Eli Lilly Chairman and CEO 戴夫 · 里克斯 responded on X on November 12 to Anthropic CEO 阿莫代伊's prediction that AI will cure diseases such as cancer in less than a decade, calling the vision "appealing" but unlikely to be achieved. He said human understanding of biology still has large gaps and that reliable evidence from randomized human trials remains the key bottleneck determining R&D timelines, adding that he is excited about AI's use in pharma but expects progress to be "steady and incremental."
