AI startup aims to speed drug discovery; Illinois enacts AI incident reporting law

Miles Wang's new AI-focused startup aims to accelerate drug discovery by repurposing existing drugs or failed candidates, leveraging prior safety data to potentially shorten development timelines. However, the significant time and cost of clinical trials remain a major hurdle that AI has not yet overcome. Separately, a new Illinois law mandates that AI developers earning over $500 million annually must report incidents within 72 hours, with a stricter 24-hour window for imminent death or injury, a measure supported by major AI labs.
