For First time Artificial intelligence created medicine to be used on humans
Artificial Intelligence in the field of medicine have been in to many things like, diagnosing for cancer, researching on heartbeat, knowing new fact on various health issues, diagnosing patients and for analyzing patient data and scans, knowing the symptoms of heart attack before itself. So putting a side all these things, now Artificial Intelligence has created a medicine.
Let’s see what type of medicine it is in detail.
Artificial intelligence invented a drug molecule that will be used in human trials in the world as first in machine learning medicine. Medicine was created by British start-up Exscientia and Japanese pharmaceutical firm Sumitomo Dainippon Pharma.
The Drug is used by people who are suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), normally the drug development takes about five years to get to trial, but the AI drug took just 12 months.
Drug molecule known as DSP-1181, is a key milestone in drug discovery said by Exscienta chief executive Prof Andrew Hopkins. The molecule is created by using algorithms that sifted through potential compounds, checking them against a huge database of parameters.
Prof Hopkins, said that this year was the first to have an AI-designed drug but by the end of the decade all new drugs could potentially be created by AI.
The researchers have already working on potential drugs cardiovascular disease and treatment of cancer, hopes to have another molecule ready for clinical trials by the end of the year. In japan it is first on trial, if successful, will be followed by more global tests.
