AI deals, jobs and patents have been booming in the last few years. But is the pharma sector keeping up?
According to this method, Novartis, GlaxoSmithKline, Merck & Co are classed as dominant players in AI in the sector, with an additional 19 companies classified as leaders. 10 companies are considered to be vulnerable due to a lack of investment in AI.
One area in which there has been some increase in AI investment among pharma companies is in the number of deals. GlobalData show that there were 44 AI deals in pharma in the first quarter of 2019. By the first quarter of 2021, that number was 85.
Hiring patterns within the pharma sector as a whole are pointing towards an increase in the level of attention being shown to AI-related roles. There was a monthly average of 955 actively advertised-for open AI roles within the industry in April this year, up from a monthly average of 712 in December 2020.
It is also apparent from an analysis of keyword mentions in financial filings that AI is occupying the minds of pharma companies to an increasing extent.
There have been 1,346 mentions of AI across the filings of the biggest pharma companies so far in 2021, equating to 12.1% of all tech theme mentions. This figure represents an increase compared to 2016, when AI represented 4.8% of the tech theme mentions in company filings.
AI is increasingly fueling innovation in the pharma sector, particularly in the past six years. There were, on average, 16 pharma patents related to AI granted each year from 2000 to 2014. That figure has risen to an average of 49 patents since then, reaching 75 in 2020.

Keep 'er lit over the coming winter (unless you're in California or Australia ofc)!
As for me, in short, haven't been gaming much at all, but what with the approaching storytelling season and the tempting imminent launch, I figured I'd break my 4 year embargo on cyberpunk news, quickly regretted it, and formulated a new plan that might involve lurking around this old haunt, perchance to hear the wisdom, or wails, of the spirits of winters past...
I thought it fair to warn ye!
Yo Rawls, well met!
Now, I could explain my feelings about this in depth, but we've all been here before, and this is the bear, AND my teeth are too long, so I'll just sum it up...
"Believe half of what you see, and none of what you hear".
Great heavens! @Aes Sídhe! Ach, man, I'd near given you up for vanished and faded into the marshland fogs! You've been mist! Welcome back, indeed!
This newfangled pub can't boast a patch on the charms or dust of its hairy forebear -- and it has a sorry show of barrels; but, have a round on the house, nonetheless -- for old time's sake! Ay, 'tis glad I am to see you!
You've been mist!
You weren't far wrong my semitautological friend I've certainly been pissed, varnished, and jaded with the march to the bogs, many times. 
As for the barrels, well someone just won't stop smashing them I guess, and would they still really be barrels if they did? But they're not alone, I expect one more clumsy boot to the legs of my old table will be the end of it. It's as well your generous with the rounds!
@Rawls I realised that was a thread you curate, so checked it out, and the sections allowed me to avoid the stuff I wish (basically any implementation details, and journo/expo opinions), so I've now read sections 1,9,12&14, thanks man, great job, helps a lot. Reminded me how apropos this game could be.
Pondsmith was quite prescient here eh.. "in 2022.. the net itself became corrupted to the extent that it's mostly too dangerous to use."
Stout - ordered.
Table legs - bit shakey.
Barrels - looking apprehensive.
So Resident Evil 3 remake it is then, RE2 last year was great, just like the first time - only better! (I know, it shouldn't be possible, but it was like how your gamedreams update, know what I mean?). Also last year The Outer Wilds was a quirky wee gem, see no mention of it on the forum, check it out lads, recommended, especially if in need of a little calm, and space.
Structural defects. Best take a seat at the bar.
Absolutely smashed, the lot of them. They're beyond all fears, now.
Ay, well, thanks. Sometimes these things just strike out of a clear blue sky, as 'twere.
Welcome back my dear dear friend!
Ah, @Bellator Pius Gratus! I was hoping you might drop
