ChatGPT in der Chemie

Endlich bin ich auch mal dazu gekommen, ChatGPT auszuprobieren. Meine Frage war: „What are possible major contributions of AI in chemical research?“

Folgende Antworten wurden geliefert:

As a language model AI, I can see the following potential major contributions of AI in chemical research:

• Data analysis and interpretation: AI can process large amounts of chemical data quickly and accurately, identifying patterns and making predictions that would be difficult or time-consuming for humans to do.
• Material design and discovery: AI can be used to discover new materials and optimize existing ones, by using machine learning algorithms to predict the properties of new compounds based on the data of existing ones.
• Virtual experimentation: AI can simulate chemical reactions in a virtual environment, allowing researchers to test and evaluate the results without the need for expensive or time-consuming physical experiments.
• Predictive toxicity: AI can predict the toxicity of new compounds and substances, helping to identify potential health and environmental risks before they are released into the environment.
• Drug discovery: AI can be used to discover new drugs and evaluate their efficacy, by using machine learning algorithms to predict how compounds will interact with proteins and other biological targets.
• Process optimization: AI can optimize chemical processes, such as production or refinement, by using predictive analytics to identify bottlenecks and areas for improvement.
• Environmental monitoring: AI can be used to monitor environmental conditions and detect potential environmental hazards, such as toxic spills or releases of hazardous chemicals.

Das ist schon mal recht eindrucksvoll. Aber ich finde es auch ein bisschen oberflächlich. Man hat alles schon gehört, vielleicht ist das aber auch klar, schließlich greift ChatGPT auch „nur“ auf das Wissen des Internets zu.

Nicht-KI-Automatismen sind ja auch schon recht nützlich, so lasse ich die Karte mit offenen Jobs auch per Skript generieren.

Was meint Ihr dazu?
