Physician-scientist David Fajgenbaum was dying from a rare disease that didn’t have a cure — until he discovered a lifesaving drug that wasn’t originally intended for his condition. In an astonishing talk, he shares how his near-death experience led him to cofound the nonprofit Every Cure, which is using AI to uncover hidden treatments in existing medicines in order to save lives. (This ambitious idea is part of The Audacious Project, TED’s initiative to inspire and fund global change.) (Recorded at TED2025 on April 10, 2025)

    I cured my chronic health issues on my own too. It’s sad how often the medical system fails us.

    It’s really nice hearing positive things coming from AI. The only things I’ve heard is how people use it to rip people off or robots treating of scientists arms.
    This is very positive. Thank you sir ☺️
