Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative tool in the field of drug discovery, revolutionizing the way researchers identify and develop new therapeutic compounds. This paper explores the application of AI in drug discovery processes, emphasizing its role in accelerating precision medicine initiatives and improving treatment outcomes. By leveraging AI algorithms, researchers can analyze vast amounts of biological data, predict drug-target interactions, and design novel molecules with enhanced specificity and efficacy. AI-driven approaches such as machine learning, deep learning, and natural language processing have enabled the discovery of new drug candidates in a fraction of the time and cost compared to traditional methods. This paper highlights key AI techniques and applications in drug discovery, discusses challenges and limitations, and examines future prospects for AI-driven precision medicine.
