I have always maintained that AI will always make things faster and better for us provided we use it judiciously! ---

I think so robots will not replace the lab work completely but the employees who are working in the research and development departments need to learn about the machine learning that how to handle robots in the preparation of the drug by giving the composition drug name and preparation. Because without the prompt the robots cannot do the work right?? so by implementing this it will ne easier for the employees to work fast. ---

No, AI will not replace lab work. It can support and speed up research, but human skills and hands-on experiments are still essential in drug discovery. ---

While the development of AI is everywhere on the other hand, it will not replace the lab work but workers may use them for specific techniques for the discovery of the drug. It many help to discover new ideas but not the work. ---

Yes robots replace some lab work but not all of it. It can do lab work accurately and precisely. But it can’t do brain work like troubleshooting, critical thinking and decision making. ---

AI may replace research work but it still needs human prediction to what’s its discovering ---

Never. No matter what AI cannot replace in everywhere we work. Especially labs I feel
