How AI Models Work

An AI model can find a strong pattern, rank a molecule or produce a detailed prediction and still lead researchers in the wrong direction. Scientific experts are needed to examine the data, challenge the assumptions and design tests that separate a useful result from a convincing false lead.

AI can help researchers compare large numbers of possible drug molecules much faster than testing every option in a laboratory. But a promising prediction is only the beginning. The molecule still has to survive chemical tests, biological experiments and clinical trials.
