Artificial intelligence is significantly accelerating drug development, with a recent survey indicating that AI can reduce preclinical costs and timelines by up to 70%. This advancement is driving demand for sophisticated software and computational models, with projections suggesting a more than 10% growth in new drug development programs within three to five years. Despite these gains, AI has not yet led to an FDA-approved drug, and some experts remain skeptical about its ability to significantly impact patient outcomes, citing concerns about factoring in human variability.
