A lot of chemists I've met aren't really don't care about AI which is pretty strange to me. Their argument is that the hardest part of making molecules isn't the design process, it's in optimizing the synthetic route, reaction kinetics, or troubleshooting solubility issues that AI might not have caught. It's only going to get better, so we'll see how long their feelings are valid...
Thanks for your comment, I can relate to that as I myself met scientists (not only chemists btw) during conferences, who just so skeptical about the whole AI thing. I mean, there is a lot of hype, but there is tremendous progress as well, so it feels a little lazy of them not to try to understand the landscape and see what works and what doesn't. Speaking about synthetic route and solubility, just out of my head, there is a ChemAIRS suite which is an AI platform for pretty much everything related to retrosynthesis, and other things chemists normally care about...
