How AI (Artificial Intelligence) Is Transforming Drug Creation

[jer]

I think this is a very interesting article about the future role of AI (artificial intelligence) in drug development. I think that AI will play a major role in the next 5-10 years in medicine, and it will also probably have a very big role in the treatments that they eventually will find to help us sufferers with Tinnitus.

AI will be able to sift though 20.000 research papers in less than a few hours, compare all kinds of substances to our human physiology and be able to find the best substances / combinations of substances that will work for us. I think we should all be very excited that we are nearing the point that this is happening.

That's quite an excellent idea to be implemented. But I imagine the process of developing such an advanced software to be tremendously difficult.
In all honesty I think it will be done even earlier than a decade, 5 years is a reasonable time frame. Biotechnology is currently going through a boom unlike anything seen before, not even Moore's Law predicted transistor size to go down this fast, I can see new therapies equipped with logic from really advanced mathematical algorithms that will turn the human body into a machine that we can fully repair. Of course it's still kinda of a mistery what these therapies will look like but the algorithms are pretty much already here since the mid-late 90s.
