Biggest AI Showdown:
Mastering the game of Go without human knowledge
It is an understatement to say that AI had a big year this year with its encroachment into transportation, cooking, and searching for planets. This ancient Chinese game is one of the essential arts of scholars. It is more complex than chess with more legal moves than atoms in the universe. Using deep learning software, this AI beat the number one player in the world, Ke Jie. Next year, it will be exciting to see how AI stops playing and starts working.
Biggest Biotech IPO:
Denali Therapeutics wears the crown this year with $248 million raised for its IPO. Neurodegenerative diseases have eluded pharma for decades, but investors have a lot of confidence in Denali’s approach. Denali has one drug in phase 1 trials (DNL201), but the rest of its portfolio is in the pre-clinical stage. Denali will be a fascinating player to watch in 2018 and beyond.
Biggest CRISPR Story:
CRISPR is Biology’s Marvel Cinematic Universe with a bunch of heroes (RNA editor, tape recorder, epigenetic modifier, but it is the patent battle between Berkeley and the Broad Institute that is the most intriguing and has the most implications for the future applications of this technology. Broad Institute has won round 1 with the US Patent Office, but this battle is far from over.
