About this listen
Physicist-turned-NLP expert Thomas Wood joins hosts Karin and Taymeyah to explore how artificial intelligence is shortening the road from protocol to patient. Thomas recounts founding Fast Data Science, explains why a Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation grant sparked his open-source Clinical Trial Risk Tool, and reveals the AI workflows already cutting months—and millions—from large pharma studies. The panel marks Alan Turing’s 113th birthday, trades “one thing I wish AI could do today,” and tackles myths around machine learning in healthcare. Looking ahead five-to-ten years, Thomas sketches a future of decentralised, patient-centric trials, but warns of regulatory and data-governance hurdles that still loom. New to the field? Stick around for book picks, career tips and a closing thought experiment for Turing himself.
