Well, AI for drugs is not a bad idea. Only because they can go through possible strings very fast, and then come up with some solutions to try.
AI is not in charge of testing, because how could it.
But drugs developed by AI, SHOULD be royalty free. But we all know it wont.
Techbros giving drugs away royalty free? Yep, we would need to be high to think that.
LLMs are not the type of AI to use for examining molecular chains.
Does it say they're going to use an llm?
Then what's the point of this article? Machine learning has been a critical aspect of drug discovery for a decade+ now. Anthropic is built on a cornerstone of transformer models. Presumably, they are wanting to implement a transformer based approach to drug discovery otherwise this is absolutely nothing new and that's a TERRIBLE idea.
