Beyond the Hype: The True Value of AI in Drug Discovery and Design

The excitement surrounding generative AI in drug discovery and design is palpable. However, this enthusiasm within the pharmaceutical industry sometimes overshadows the core principles through which AI algorithms can deliver real value to drug R&D. Rather than being caught up in the hype, it's crucial for the drug discovery and design community to focus on the fundamental ways AI can transform the field, from accelerating drug design to identifying promising drug candidates.
