Critical assessment of AI in drug discovery

: While a variety of machine learning methods are now being routinely used to predict biological activity and ADME properties, methods of representing molecules continue to evolve. Molecule generation methods are relatively new and unproven but hold the potential to access new, unexplored areas of chemical space. The application of AI in drug discovery will continue to benefit from dedicated research, as well as AI developments in other fields. With this pairing algorithmic advancements and high-quality data, the impact of AI in drug discovery will continue to grow in the coming years.
