ABSTRACT
Aim: This study evaluates the applications, benefits, and risks of artificial intelligence (AI) in chemical research and industrial practice. Methods: A literature review assessed AI’s role across chemical disciplines, followed by an experimental project testing a publicly accessible AI chatbot’s accuracy in answering fundamental chemistry questions. Results: The literature highlights AI’s transformative potential in drug discovery, materials design, and process optimization but underscores persistent risks, including errors (e.g., "hallucinations") and ethical concerns. In the experimental phase, the chatbot answered 27 of 28 chemistry questions (96.43%) correctly; the error involved an incorrect chemical structure. Conclusion: While AI tools offer significant utility in chemistry, human oversight remains critical to mitigate risks. Accuracy varies by model version and prompt specificity, necessitating cautious adoption in education and research.
