Nature Medicine Review: AI Reconstructs the Paradigm of Drug Development
In the prolonged battle between humanity and disease, drug development remains the decisive battleground. Faced with the harsh reality of an average investment of $2.6 billion, a 15-year timeline, and a success rate below 10%, global scientists are turning to artificial intelligence (AI). This disruptive technology is quietly ushering drug development into a new era of "algorithm-driven" innovation. By 2025, the latest research in Nature journals reveals that generative AI models, exemplified by ChatGPT and Sora, are reshaping the entire drug development pipeline—from target discovery to clinical trials—accelerating "AI-driven drug discovery" from concept to clinical practice.
