Is this an investment that disease and genetics researchers believe will be valuable? Or is this primarily tax deductible funds flowing back into the AI industrial complex? (Honest question! If it’s a truly promising path that’s great)

I am very skeptical of the ai initiatives in medicine and biology where they want to solve problems that humans cannot yet. I would love to be wrong of course
