Artificial intelligence in interdisciplinary life science and drug discovery research
Artificial intelligence (AI) is lauded as an auspicious problem solver in many areas. However, the methodology is not always sufficiently understood. In fact, there often is an aura of mystery – and also concern – created around AI. For example, the expectation that machines would ‘think’ independently and reach autonomous decisions beyond human reasoning, which might also be threatening, depending on the situation, is not factual and falls into the realm of science fiction. In science, the popularity and promise of AI mostly originate from notable advances in a few fields, but are also influenced by business-driven hype and partly unrealistic expectations.
