Schrödinger CEO Ramy Farid clarifies that his company is not an AI company, but is willing to use that term if needed. The company, established in 1990, initially focused on creating software based on basic physics laws to predict molecular interactions. As technology shifted towards using graphics processing units, Schrödinger’s computations became more efficient and accurate than traditional machine learning approaches. Farid highlights that their physics-based predictions are superior to AI’s approximations based on data. The company’s expertise lies in computational physics, offering a unique approach to molecular modeling and drug discovery.
