AI Holds Promise to Speed Drug Discovery But Verification, Collaboration Needed
-
AI has potential to accelerate drug discovery but independent verification is needed to confirm benefits.
-
Some AI drug discovery companies claim faster development but peer review is lacking.
-
Generative AI can suggest molecules but may propose impossible structures. Feedback loops can help improve.
-
Academic and industry collaboration is key to validate AI tools for drug discovery.
-
While AI may speed early stages, clinical trials remain biggest hurdle. Most candidates still fail late stage.
