Artificial Intelligence Speeds Up Drug Discovery

in #investing7 years ago

What is this about?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be used to fundamentally rethink how we solve the world’s problems.

AI has the potential to greatly improve things like education, poverty and security and especially healthcare. AI machines can do some very beneficial things already today that humans will simply never be able to.

The world’s leading drug companies are turning to AI to improve the trial-and-error business of discovering new drugs.

Pharmaceutical giants like GSK, Merck & Co, Johnson & Johnson and Sanofi are exploring the potential of AI to help streamline the drug discovery process.

The aim is to harness modern supercomputers and machine learning systems to predict how molecules will behave and how likely they are to make a useful drug, thereby saving time and money on unnecessary tests.

Many large pharma companies are starting to realize the potential of this approach and how it can help improve efficiencies.

Why is that a good thing?

To date, people with severe diseases cannot expect that a treatment for their disease will be discovered, researched and put on the market within their lifetime since this process generally takes decades.

Implementing AI in drug research’s main goal is to reduce the time it takes from identifying a target for disease intervention to finding a molecule that acts against it from an average 5.5 years today to just one year in future.

The AI system delivers drug candidates in roughly one-quarter of the time and at one-quarter of the cost of traditional approaches.

This might give people who are already suffering from severe diseases a hope for a cure, not only for future generations but also for people who are living today.

From an investor's standpoint, it can be certainly expected that big pharma stocks are looking forward to a big future of exploding revenue and earnings. A good time to consider adding big pharma to one's portfolio.

this is great content and 100% AI will be used in these industries if not already so. Along with quantum computing the future of AI is really amazing! hope it will be for the good aye :)

AI is always a good thing

AI can be seen controversial. But I do agree :)

A machine can do what human being cannot but somw extend.a machine can never be human being!great discovery towards making life easy.lovely!

AI is becoming more human like in behavior. Maybe someday it can be compared.

I'm rather skeptical when Pharmaceutical giants are investigating it,... Better to prevent than to cure,... Maybe have a look at this solution: https://www.quantumleap.is/

Some diseases cannot be prevented like inherited genetic diseases. However, I do agree - prevention is better than treatment.

Never heard of MMS or quantum leap. Sounds too good to be true. Do you have any further sources than this one?

I'm using it for more than 7 years and know it has amazing cleaning properties on the body, so that the immune-system is relieved and that the body can start healing itself! More info here: http://mmswiki.is/index.php/Main_Page The best way to investigate is reading testimonials and listening to people who used it. You could download his book for free in the past,... can't find no free copies anymore now,... Search on Jim Humble and you will find a lot about it!
