This news is quite interesting, I like to see that technology is used for the benefit of health. In part you have reminded me a bit of an old research project in which I participated a little, at that time I joined the Boinc distributed computing system and lent some of my computing power to medical research on specific proteins and antigens, it was a tiny thing on my part, but it seemed to me that some help was better than none, and the strength of the work was because of the number of people participating as a swarm.

I am thinking now that it would be interesting to see in the future a union of both paths, AI and distributed computing ... That would be powerful and could be beneficial for the investigation of new topics and areas.
