Hill Research CTO Dr. Jack Li spoke at “AI for Everyone: From AGI to Real-Life Transformation”, a private fireside chat held as a side event of AGI Summit SF 2026. Hosted by Bay AI Circle, the session took place July 18, 2026, at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco.
The conversation asked what people must become as AI reshapes how they learn, work, and build.
From Frontier Demos to Dependable Clinical AI
According to Hill Research, Li returned repeatedly to one theme: the gap between an impressive frontier demo and a system people can actually depend on. That gap defines his work at Hill Research, where he leads the AI platforms behind the company’s clinical trial analytics.
In clinical development, reliability is a regulatory requirement. Outputs that support FDA submissions must be reproducible and audit-ready, which makes careful engineering more important than demonstration. Hill Research’s AI team has also explored reliability in published research, including Med-ICE, a multi-agent consensus framework for medical AI.
