BPM 31510 is just another cancer drug in human development trials, except for one thing. Scientists didn’t toil away in labs to come up with it; artificial intelligence did.

The cancer drug development process is costly and time-consuming. On average, it takes 24 to 48 months and upwards of $100 million to find a suitable candidate. Add that to the fact that 95% of all potential drugs fail in clinical trials, and the inefficiencies of the whole drug-discovery machine really become apparent.

Backed by real estate billionaire Carl Berg, eponymous biotech startup Berg wants to use artificial intelligence to design cancer drugs that are cheaper, have fewer side effects, and can be developed in half the time it normally takes. BPM 31510 is the first of Berg’s drugs to get a real-world test.

When a billionaire investor responsible for disrupting credit/payments, automotive, and space travel industries communicates a warning to the world about a trend in new technologies, it’s best just to listen.

Case in point, yesterday SpaceX and Tesla Motors founder Elon Musk told people to be careful when it comes to artificial intelligence (AI), which he said could be “potentially more dangerous” than nuclear weapons, according to a tweet sent yesterday. (The tweet came just an hour after Musk offered his thoughts on Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy movie, so take that however you will.)

What in 2014 I told my own Stanford University Business Analytics Class that Caused my P.hD.-ed Sociology Professor to Set Himself Into Shock and Outrage and STONE SILENCE AND PARALYSIS!

(What my associated NASA Hard Rocket Scientists told me fifteen (15) years ago.)

There is not Society, but outright NONLINEAR ENTROPY (The Second Law of Thermodynamics as it is understood in optimal Classic Physics). To cope with this hard indisputable truth, simple linear human mind will never suffice UNLESS SAID MIND IS FORCEFULLY ANTINATURALLY MARSHALED INTO MULTIFARIOUS COLOSSALLY NONLINEAR ALGORITHMIC COUNTERINTUITIVENESS.
