The First Blockbuster Drug Developed Using AI May Be Available By 2020

Traditional drug discovery is a very long and very expensive process involving many tests to determine the safely and efficacy of each new drug candidate. AI is making the hunt for new drugs quicker, cheaper and more effective. Drug companies are already conducting clinical trials for drugs developed using AI. Although no AI for Drug Discovery companies have brought a blockbuster drug to market yet, since many drugs are currently in clinical trials, we could see the arrival of the AI industry's first blockbuster drug as early as 2020. A drug discovered using AI will be tangible scientific validation of the AI approach and will cause a massive increase of investments and capitalization of this industry.
