From prediction to proof: where AI changes drug discovery
Better molecular hypotheses can accelerate research, while validation remains the decisive investment.
Editorial and translation draft — prepared for local preview, pending human review.
AlphaFold 3 broadens the molecular systems that researchers can model. The practical opportunity is to choose more informative experiments, rather than treat a prediction as a medicine.
Our interpretation: research teams should track how prediction affects experiment selection, reproducibility and decision quality. A useful model can reduce uncertainty at one stage while leaving toxicity, delivery and patient benefit unresolved. The next valuable evidence is experimental follow-through.
