Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into the drug discovery and development process has revolutionized the pharmaceutical industry, offering unprecedented efficiency and precision. This abstract explores the multifaceted impact of AI on drug discovery, including the application of machine learning algorithms to identify potential drug targets, optimize compound design, and streamline preclinical and clinical trials. AI-driven computational tools enable the analysis of vast amounts of biological and chemical data, leading to the identification of novel drug candidates with higher success rates. Furthermore, this summary delves into how AI facilitates the acceleration of drug development timelines by predicting drug efficacy and safety, thereby reducing costs and time-to-market. The challenges and ethical considerations in utilizing AI for drug discovery are also addressed, emphasizing the need for rigorous validation and transparency in AI-based drug development processes.
