Why Biotech Won’t Compete with AI—It Will Redefine It

Okay you know ChatGPT.
But how many of you have heard of Claude?

Claude can handle significantly longer documents than ChatGPT, making it better for deep reading, research, or large file uploads.

Claude 3.5 can handle up to 200,000 tokens, while ChatGPT-4 handles up to 128,000 tokens.

Claude was  founded by Dario Amodei —  former senior researcher at OpenAI.

– Studied physics at Caltech and Stanford
– Earned a PhD researching how neurons fire
– Worked at Stanford School of Medicine

Dario didn’t start in AI.
He started in physics.
Then he went to medicine school — not to become a doctor, but to understand the brain.

Why would a physicist walk into a school of medicine?
What does studying neural circuits have to do with building safe AI?

It turns out — everything.

Before coding models, he studied how real intelligence works in the brain.
Before thinking about alignment, he studied how cells misfire in disease.

That’s what life science teaches you:
how systems behave, how things break, and what it really means to function well.
When you understand biology, you don’t just build smarter tech —
you build tech that thinks more like us.

Dario’s story is a reminder that the future of AI won’t just be written in code.
It will be shaped by those who understand life itself.
Why?
Because to build artificial intelligence , you need to first understand how real intelligence works — not just in code, but in the brain, the body, and life itself.
So if you’re studying biotech , neuroscience, or biology  and thinking,
“Should I switch to AI to stay relevant?” —
The answer is a big NO.

Because, AI needs minds like yours — grounded in biology, trained in observation, and fluent in life.
You don’t need to pivot completely.

That’s what Dario Amodei did.

And In  2025, the Time magazine recognised Amodei as one of the 100 most influential individuals worldwide.

He didn’t drop biology to chase only algorithms.
He used life science to build AI.
If you’re in biotech, you don’t have to leave your field to be part of the AI revolution.

Just combine the two and create a whole new genre of innovation.
Keep going.
You’re not behind.
You’re exactly where the future begins.

Your perspective matters more than ever…
