Generative AI will be designing new drugs all on its own in the near future
It won't be long for artificial intelligence can handle drug discovery for pharmaceutical companies without human scientists.
With AI able to move at a speed of discovery which in five minutes can generate as many molecules as Lilly could synthesize in an entire year in traditional wet labs, it make sense to test the limits of artificial intelligence in medicine. The top AI-generated biological designs, molecules that Rau described as having "weird-looking structures" that could not be matched to much in the company's existing molecular database, but that looked like potentially strong drug candidates, were taken to Lilly research scientists. A major precedent for AI-generated breakthroughs in biology was set in 2021 when Google's DeepMind AI, known for its creative thinking in realms ranging from the strategy game Go to music, video, and cloud computing, came up with a novel protein called AlphaFold.
