Varun Pareek, Lokendra Sharma, Sushil Kumar

AI is often being touted as the means to bring about the fourth Industrial Revolution and its role in almost all sectors of our society is almost certain. This brings about an urgent need for evaluating benefits and limitations of AI and machine learning across various sectors.

The major advantage of AI is that it reduces the time that is needed for drug development and, in turn, it reduces the costs that are associated with drug development, enhances the returns on investment and may even cause a decrease in cost for the end user along with improved drug safety.
