Johnson & Johnson CEO Joaquin Duato explains how the company uses AI to cut drug-development timelines from nearly a decade to a few years, and how the technology is improving surgical outcomes.

Why J&J’s CEO Calls AI a Healthcare 'Force Multiplier'

Whenever I ask someone, where are we gonna see the biggest social benefits from AI, they almost always answer healthcare. Do you agree with that? Where are we gonna see it? Are you starting to see it already? How long will it take?

AI in a company in life sciences like us is a force multiplier because it's going to help us meet and fulfill our purpose better. If our purpose is being medical technologies and medicines faster and better for patients, AI, it's only going to help. So in that context, AI is a positive thing and we think Johnson&Johnson, we embrace AI. And we are deploying AI in multiple areas of the company. Like any other company, we deploy AI in managing the overall transactional aspects, operational aspects of the company but we do have two areas in which AI can have a significant impact in advancing our mission. One is in developing better medicines faster, and the other ones, incorporating AI into our medical technologies to make medical procedures with better outcomes.

And are you today seeing measurable differences in the top line, bottom line performance of the company or are we not there yet?

I see that we can develop medicines faster. For example, we already have in the clinics, already in humans medicines that it would have taken a long time, you know, close to a decade to get into the clinic we have done in single year. So we have accelerated the process of getting medicines into the clinic. I see today that our medical technologies already incorporate AI, for example, in helping electrophysiologists navigate when they are doing in procedures into the heart, navigating to the heart and giving them the ability to understand where they are and what they have to do next. So I see AI already advancing. To what extent, that's already coming into our bottom line is still to be seen, but we see AI amplifying our ability to develop better medical technologies and better medicine.
