Chinese scientists make ‘impossible’ AI breakthrough in drug research
- The team says its machine learning model can accurately predict the complex molecular changes that determine a drug’s effectiveness
- Structural biologists, including China’s Yan Ning, regard the task as beyond the capabilities of artificial intelligence
