Editor, Hypergrowth Investing | |  Most of Wall Street’s AI-related headlines have been centered around chipmakers like Nvidia (NVDA) and software companies like Microsoft (MSFT). But the biggest AI stock boom is happening in an entirely different sector. And it’s going unnoticed by the mainstream media. We’re talking about biotech stocks. In just over four months, the SPDR S&P Biotech ETF (XBI) has soared more than 55%. And certain biotech stocks have soared much more. Year-to-date, Elevation Oncology (ELEV) is up more than 800%. Skye Bioscience (SKYE) is up more than 500%, and Corbus Pharmaceuticals (CRBP) is up about 500%. 
Why the huge breakout in biotech?
In part, it’s thanks to AI.
AI’s application in biology holds the potential to unlock enormous economic value for one simple reason: data.
The more data, the better the AI. It’s that simple. And when it comes to the human body, there is no dearth of quality data. In fact, there is more high-quality data than anywhere else on Earth.
Humans – like computers – are really nothing more than a bunch of data strung together.
At their core, computers are just a bunch of 1s and 0s coded in sequence, with each number corresponding to a certain action for the computer to perform. Humans, similarly, are a bunch of As, Gs, Cs, and Ts strung together – or the four base types found in human DNA molecules – with each determining a person’s characteristics, traits, and even actions.  Humans are full of data.
Apply AI to all that data, and you will change the world. | | | | SPONSORED  Eric Fry here. I’ve issued an urgent A.I.

AI can solve that mystery, and in so doing, solve myriad problems that plague all humans.
Consider this: It takes about $900 million and 13.5 years to develop a new successful drug.
The drug development process is so expensive and time-consuming that firms cannot afford to push that many drugs forward. This creates a huge shortage in drug candidates and programs relative to what is possible given all the permutations of human biological data. But AI can significantly shorten and cheapen this process. Why does it take so long to find new drugs? Because the universe of biological data is enormous. It takes scientists great effort to sort through all the data, uncover the root causes of diseases, and formulate compounds to fight those diseases.
But AI can automate that entire process. It can map out genetic data, identify mutations, and run simulations to find the right compounds and combat those mutations – all almost instantly.
Essentially, researchers can use AI to find new drug candidates much faster than is currently possible.
And this is already happening.
Last year, Japanese pharma giant Takeda Pharmaceutical (TAK) bought an experimental psoriasis drug for $4 billion – a drug that was created in only six months by using AI.
It isn’t alone.
Other pharma giants like Bayer, Roche, Sanofi (SNY) and AstraZeneca (AZN) are actively using AI technology for drug discovery purposes.
The future of AI-powered drug discovery starts now.
This is big business.

NOT the national debt…
NOT inflation…
NOT A.I…
NOT crypto crashing…
And NOT the presidential election.
Instead, there’s a massive risk to cash-holders that no one is talking about besides one man.
And no… it has nothing to do with Central Bank Digital currencies. You need to see this former Wall Street insider’s brand-new warning. | | | The Final Word Research firm Deep Pharma Intelligence estimates that investments in the field of AI-powered drug discovery have tripled over the past four years to nearly $25 billion.
Morgan Stanley believes this tech will lead to an additional 50 novel therapies being brought to market over the next decade, with annual sales in excess of $50 billion!  In other words, a $50 billion AI drug discovery revolution starts now.
