IMO, this is a bigger issue in the industry. People are hyping up ML/AI to the point where the actual application is either impossible or extremely difficult. Just look at how many people are so fearful of AI/ML taking away jobs and replacing humans. Anyone in the field knows that AI/ML can take away jobs but it is more of the low-end jobs and everything happens gradually rather than immediately. AI/ML is being more as a tool to enhance human productivity rather than as a direct replacement for entire occupations unless the job is very basic to begin with.

IMO AI/ML scientists are drastically underestimating the complexity of biology.

Once scientists in biology and healthcare get on board like they are in linguistics and computer vision I'd expect things to pick up.
