Description
Drug development has always been a long and arduous process, taking years of research and costing millions of dollars.

Globe business reporters Joe Castaldo, who covers AI, and Sean Silcoff, who reports on technology and life sciences, are on the show to talk about the promise of AI in drug development, and why the bets on technology haven’t panned out.
