Artificial intelligence on drug discovery and development

Abstract

Objective: It is aimed to reveal the place and importance of Artificial Intelligence, also known as machine intelligence, in drug discovery and development. Result and Discussion: The drug discovery and development stages are among the most important science activities contributing to human health and well-being. However, the development of a new drug is a complex, expensive, and lengthy process. How to reduce costs and accelerate the discovery of new drugs has become a challenging and urgent question in the industry. The combination of artificial intelligence (AI) with new experimental technologies is expected to make the search for new drugs faster, cheaper and more effective. In this review, emerging artificial intelligence applications to speed up the drug discovery process are discussed.
