How researchers are using AI to speed up drug discovery and development: Q&A
Drug development is among the slowest, most failure-prone processes in modern science, with about 90% of drug candidates never reaching the market. Today, artificial intelligence methods have accelerated the first step - plucking promising molecules out of endless possibilities - but countless challenges remain. A successful drug must be not only safe and effective but also able to bypass the body's defenses and reach the right target.
The tech section covers stories about technology making life better, not just more profitable. Open-source tools reaching new audiences, accessibility breakthroughs, AI applications in healthcare and education, infrastructure improvements that quietly make cities work better. Product launches and funding rounds are excluded unless they deliver tangible public benefit.
