AI-driven predictions in Long COVID drug development utilize data integration capabilities to map symptom trajectories and identify potential drugs for trials.
AI has accelerated timelines in vaccine development and drug discovery, reducing traditional processes from years to months through epitope prediction and virtual screening.
Limitations and risks include data quality issues, algorithmic bias, regulatory gaps, and overstated efficacy claims, highlighting the need for high-quality datasets and validation.
AI applications have shown promising impacts in virtual drug screening, predictive phenotyping, and clinical trials optimization, but reliability concerns exist due to limited wet-lab validation and small training cohorts.
Collaborative efforts and adherence to FAIR data principles are crucial to enhancing the reliability of AI-driven predictions in Long COVID drug development.
