Using AI To Theorise New Ways Of Manufacturing Illegal Drugs And Their Antidotes

Can machine learning models come up with new ways to manufacture methamphetamine, MDMA, or even cocaine? Can we circumvent analog laws and precursor bans? Five months ago, we examined how AI tech could be use to generate new psychedelics. But what about new ways to do old things? The US

New Psychedelic Drugs With AI/Machine Learning, Using Searchable Clandestine Chemistry Data

Until the 2010s, chemists like Papa Shulgin and others had to take random guesses at new molecules in a highly-labour-intensive process which could take years. It was paper, and pen. And imagination. In the age of networking cloud computing, machine-learning (ML) can create thousands of suggestions in a matter of
