A drug molecule "invented" by artificial intelligence (AI) will be used in human trials in a world first for machine learning in medicine.


It was created by British start-up Exscientia and Japanese pharmaceutical firm Sumitomo Dainippon Pharma.

The drug will be used to treat patients who have obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

Typically, drug development takes about five years to get to trial, but the AI drug took just 12 months.

Exscienta chief executive Prof Andrew Hopkins described it as a "key milestone in drug discovery".
