Common Life Science Patentability Issues Working Their Way Into AI Applications

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a rapidly growing field that has been making significant contributions to various industries, including the pharmaceutical industry. In this article, we will discuss the use of AI in drug discovery and the patentability of AI-based inventions, as well as introduce the concepts of plausibility and sufficiency and how they relate to such inventions.

AI is a broad term that refers to the ability of machines to perform tasks that would typically require human intelligence. AI is used in various applications, including natural language processing, image recognition, and drug discovery. In the pharmaceutical industry, AI is used both to discover new drugs and new uses for existing drugs, for example. This takes advantage of the ability of AI to analyse large amounts of data and identify patterns that humans may not be able to detect.
