March 2026 timeline is extremely aggressive for meaningful results. Good AI models need time for validation, peer review, and clinical testing. This feels like it's optimizing for headlines rather than actual scientific rigor. Real breakthroughs take decades, not 18 months.

My grandmother has Alzheimer's and honestly I don't care who funds the research or why. If AI can help find patterns that human researchers miss, bring it on.
