Revolutionizing Pharmaceutical Industry: The Radical Impact of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

Curr Pharm Des. 2023;29(21):1645-1658. doi: 10.2174/1381612829666230807161421.

Abstract

This article explores the significant impact of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) on the pharmaceutical industry, which has transformed the drug development process. AI and ML technologies provide powerful tools for analysis, decision-making, and prediction by simplifying complex procedures from drug design to formulation design. These techniques could potentially speed up the development of better medications and drug development processes, improving the lives of millions of people. However, the use of these techniques requires trained personnel and human surveillance for AI to function effectively, if not there is a possibility of errors like security breaches of personal data and bias can also occur. Thus, the present review article discusses the transformative power of AI and ML in the pharmaceutical industry and provides insights into the future of drug development and patient care.

Keywords: Artificial intelligence; QSAR modeling; drug discovery; machine learning; polypharmacology; post-marketing surveillance; target identification.
