Transforming pharmacy practice with artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence is integrated into many aspects of our lives today, from entertainment to healthcare. Artificial intelligence (AI) has been a focus of research since its introduction to healthcare in the 1970s. It enables improvements in medical disciplines such as diagnostics, treatment protocols, and decision-making (Jessica et al., 2025). The use of AI is leading to major transformations in the **pharmaceutical industry, specifically in drug discovery,** formulation development, manufacturing, quality control, and post-market surveillance (Huanbutta et al., 2024).
