This document discusses how artificial intelligence can expedite drug development. It begins by defining artificial intelligence and describing the FDA's role in overseeing the drug development process through five phases. It then explains how the FDA works to hasten drug development. Currently, drug approval takes an average of 10-12 years and causes many deaths from delayed treatments. However, with AI, approval could take less than a year by analyzing large patient databases and better predicting drug safety and efficacy before human testing. In the end, AI has the potential to significantly reduce drug development times and save many lives.
