🎙️ Helical Brew - AI Thought Leaders Series | Episode 2

What if AI hallucinations held the key to scientific progress?

In this episode, we’re joined by John Conway, founder of 20/15 Visioneers and longtime pharma executive, for a raw and powerful conversation on how AI is reshaping life sciences - from institutional memory to software standardization.

💥 We explore why FAIR data could be a $4B opportunity, how hallucinations mirror scientific insight, and what’s really slowing down AI adoption in science (spoiler: it’s culture).

If you're navigating digital transformation, building AI tools, or just trying to make your data usable, this one’s for you.

🔹 Key Questions We Explore:

What happens when institutional knowledge disappears?

Can AI preserve scientific memory better than notebooks?

Is hallucination a bug or a feature in modern AI?

Why do scientific software projects keep failing?

What skills will define the next generation of AI innovators?

📅 Watch now to hear why AI isn’t just changing science - it’s changing scientists.

📢 Next Up: Don’t miss Tony Reina, Head of Machine Learning, joining us next week to reveal the AI architectures of the future.🔔 Subscribe & follow for deep dives into AI, science innovation, and lab automation.
