Artificial intelligence is helping accelerate drug discovery in several ways: 1) AI analyzes vast amounts of data to identify potential drug candidates; 2) AI designs new drugs through computer simulations; 3) AI identifies new uses for existing drugs. AI is also assisting with clinical trials by selecting patients and monitoring safety. It analyzes genomic data to find disease biomarkers and drug targets. AI will likely continue improving drug development by making it faster, cheaper, and more accurate.
