The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on the Process of Drug Discovery and Development

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the field of drug discovery and development by offering innovative solutions to longstanding challenges such as high costs, lengthy timelines, and high rates of failure. This review comprehensively explores how AI is reshaping drug discovery through advanced data analysis, predictive modelling, drug repurposing, biomarker discovery, clinical trial optimization, and drug design. We delve into recent advancements, ongoing challenges, and future directions, supported by recent literature and case studies. AI's transformative impact promises to enhance efficiency, precision, and cost-effectiveness in the pharmaceutical industry, ultimately benefiting patients and the healthcare ecosystem.
