According to a survey from 2023, 75 percent of so-called 'AI-first' biotech companies stated they use artificial intelligence in drug discovery substantially. This is expected since these are companies for which the usage of AI/machine learning is at the very core of their research. All in all, the AI adoption level is five times lower in 'classic' pharma and biotech companies.

Supplementary notes
Original question: “How would you characterize your organization’s usage of AI tools to support the use case family?” (Respondents may overlap across use cases and can only choose one option per use case, average use case option per respondent was used to determine usage by sector)
Percentage points missing/exceeding 100 percent are probably due to rounding.
* Including both AI-first biotech and pharma/biotech companies.
