Artificial Intelligence Is a Game Changer in Drug Discovery R&D

Significant progress has been made in several areas of our lives within the last few decades: machine learning and artificial intelligence methods, data storage and transmission approaches, computational hardware, biotech, and drug discovery. All these advances combined unlock the potential for artificial intelligence to become a paradigm-shifting technology for drug discovery. Current obstacles in traditional drug discovery, the potential impact of AI on drug discovery, core differentiating factors of AI over traditional algorithms, and the latest advances in drug discovery with AI are discussed in this chapter.
