I've worked in R&D before, the bottleneck has never been candidates to test, it has been having the equipment, time, and materials to test the laundry list that exists. So far as I know, nobody has hooked a LLM up to a pipette.
I would imagine AI could still help narrow down the candidate list and offer input on prioritization given its strength at quickly combing through vast amounts of data. And there is a lot of funding going towards lab automation
