Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Drug Discovery

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transfor mative force in drug discovery, expediting the traditionally time consuming and costly process. This paper explores the integration of AI across different stages of drug development, from target identification to clinical trials. We provide a comprehensive literature review, analyze methodologies employed, and present key findings, discussing both the potential and the challenges of AI in this domain. Visual aids including tables, flowcharts, and diagrams are incorporated to elucidate complex concepts and comparative results.
