Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been studied and applied to medicines and vaccine development. However, there is still a need to understand the processes used and improve them. With this letter, we draw attention to AI use as a tool in vaccine production, supporting scientists and enabling optimization in this process. In this way, it can be applied to contain pandemics and epidemics.
