Drug Discovery Enhanced by Artificial Intelligence
Woo Sung Son · Biomedical Journal of Scientific & Technical Research · 2018
Artificial intelligence, one of the key technologies in the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution, is expected to greatly affect traditional drug discovery.Artificial intelligence is attracting attention as an innovative technology that can dramatically reduce the high cost and time required for the new drug discovery.At this stage, artificial intelligence is mainly used to search for candidate molecules during drug discovery, but it is highly likely to be actively used in drug discovery through open innovation in the future.In this paper, it is presented the current state of artificial intelligence in each stage of a new drug discovery and prospect for the future usability.
