<abstract language="eng">This article discusses the rapidly expanding artificial intelligence (AI) tools combined with theoretical and organic chemistry software to point out the fact that near future is being reborn with a new education system and research system in drug discovery. The integration of AI into the field of chemistry and pharmacy has expanded rapidly in recent years. There has been a significant surge in both journal articles and patents, particularly from 2015 onward. Analyzing the distribution of these publications across various pharmaceutical and chemical research domains reveal that theoretical chemistry, organic chemistry and biochemistry have embraced AI most extensively, showing the highest growth rates. Utilizing such new software tools in educational research centers and academia, students and scholars can learn and apply much more long-durational and larger techniques in shorter times to yield massive results for the sake of humankind¡¯s future with no diseases. This new type of educational and research-oriented technique integrating the control and check mechanism of AI is being used today for the design of new drugs which are essential for the longevity. The utilization of AI with in-silico studies and education increases the ability to stop diseases with a logarithmic increase while the old-fashioned ways of chemistry will be no more in the near future. Overall, this research paper offers a comprehensive overview of AI's advancement in pharmaceutical and chemical area and sheds light on its potential future trajectories.</abstract>
