Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the Chemical Field: Innovation and Risk Evaluation
Main Article Content
Abstract
This work aims to verify the various uses of AI in chemical settings and the benefits and risks of using this innovative technology.
AI tools make it possible to have a powerful instrument in study or research, as well as in various chemical disciplines.
After a review of some interesting scientific literature related to some interesting uses of AI and the risks involved, the results of an experimental project involved the use of a famous free AI CHATBOT (question and answer).
The articles reported are involved with some benefits of AI use, but also related to the specific risks.
Crucial in this world is that the results provided must be the right ones, without relevant error or the so-called “hallucinations”.
The results of a specific experimental project using a free AI chatbot show errors in providing one.
Chemical structure: The final human control of the AI results can be a useful method to use in a safe way for this technology today.
