Connecting the Dots Across Discovery - with Ben Ninio of Deloitte

The AI in Business Podcast

On this episode of the AI in Business podcast, Emerj Editorial Director Matthew DeMello speaks with Ben Ninio, Principal in Strategy at Deloitte, about how enterprises are rethinking the fundamentals of scientific discovery in the AI era. Ben explains why language itself has become the “hack” for unifying frameworks across R&D domains—from pharmaceuticals to agriculture to industrial chemistry—allowing organizations to move beyond the limits of brute-force computation. He illustrates how large language models and knowledge graphs can help identify new molecular, biological, and cross-domain insights that were previously impossible to surface.
