Google has announced the development of TxGemma, a collection of open AI models aimed at drug discovery. These models are designed to interpret both text and the structures of therapeutic entities, such as chemicals and proteins. The initiative is part of Google's Health AI Developer Foundations program, set to launch later this month.
The goal of TxGemma is to streamline the lengthy and costly process of drug development by enabling researchers to predict the properties of potential therapies. Despite the promise of AI in revolutionizing drug discovery, challenges remain, as evidenced by recent clinical trial failures from other AI firms. Nevertheless, the enthusiasm from big pharma and investors indicates a strong belief in the future potential of AI technologies in this field.
