Connecting The Dots: Artificial Intelligence And Medications

Researchers at the University of Cambridge say they designed a machine learning algorithm that predicts the results of complex chemical reactions way better than trained chemists. In fact, the artificial intelligence had a 90 percent success rate. So why does this help humans? The researchers found that the A.I could predict a sequence of reaction leading to a desired product. This basically gives chemists printed out directions on how to come up with new medicine.
