The discussion centers on how AI, especially AlphaFold 3, is revolutionizing drug discovery by drastically accelerating and improving the design of drug molecules that target specific proteins. Traditional drug development relies on trial and error, but AI models allow scientists to rationally design drugs by predicting protein structures and interactions. However, challenges remain due to the vastness of chemical space and imperfections in current models, making lab work still necessary. Future steps include integrating generative models and potentially quantum computing to enhance discovery, reduce costs, and shift the pharmaceutical business model.
