AI in drug discovery | AI in drug discovery and development | AI in drug development

I thought this was called computational biology or biochemistry and has been in practice for drug development for over 20 years. Suddenly it has gotten a new name - AI. I was doing this 20 years go running a molecule though a software to see which type of molecules can fit into the active site of the enzyme or receptor or other regulatory parts to see how it can be modulated. In any case the author has simplified that the molecule goes to clinical trial. The molecule has to be synthesized, tested in vitro (in test tube or in cells in culture), then a series of test conducted for safety in 2 mammalian animal forms and only then an investigational approval for humans IIND) will be approved by the FDA. AI has not made medical discovery faster. They just renamed older technologies AI

Thank you for your feedback. Drug discovery is not my core area hence I researched on this topic and put on my views on how AI could be helpful. Any comments/knowledge/feedback are more than welcome.
