Alexander Wissner-GrossComputer scientist and founder of Reified, co-host of Moonshots
Wissner-Gross rejects the view that biology is harder to crack than math.
“Biology will be bulk solved just as easily, if not more easily, than math”
Moonshots with Peter Diamandis: OpenAI Bulk-Solves 722 Math Problems, Anthropic’s Cruelty Policy, and Elon’s Quadrillion-Dollar SpaceX | EP #302 (Oct 15, 2026) · Listen from 1:08:53
- Prediction · due Dec 2029
Wissner-Gross predicts that AI will solve the search problem of planning interventions from diseased to healthy states within two to three years.
“AI will solve the search problem in, I think, next two to three years”

Dave BlundinFounder and general partner of Link Ventures, co-host of Moonshots
Blundin argues that modeling the cell is the hard step and that moving from cell to whole organism will be comparatively easy.
“I think the step from protein to cell is much, much harder than the step from cell to full organism”
