In mathematics, there is this age-old question of whether new math is discovered or invented. It makes sense to ask the same sort of question about modern drug discovery. When using artificial intelligence to identify drug candidates, are these new drug candidates being developed, or simply exposed through a process of narrowing down the possibilities using mathematics and science? Are these new drug candidates discovered or designed? A flurry of progress in the race to identify a COVID-19 vaccine has produced new automated techniques for drug discovery using artificial intelligence.
