Abstract
This chapter will emphasize the advances in artificial intelligence and bioinformatics to accelerate the drug design and discovery process. The field of artificial intelligence (AI) aims to develop machines and systems that can perform tasks that require human intelligence, such as learning, reasoning, and decision-making. One of the domains where AI has been applied is bioinformatics and computer-aided drug designing (CADD). Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field that uses computational methods to analyze biological data, such as genomic, proteomic sequences and structures, and gene expressions. CADD is the process of using computational tools to design and optimize new drugs or drug candidates based on their molecular properties and interactions with biological targets. AI can improve both bioinformatics and CADD by providing novel methods for data analysis, pattern recognition, feature extraction, prediction, optimization, and simulation. In this book chapter, we will review the current state-of-the-art and future challenges of AI in bioinformatics and CADD. We will discuss how AI can help solve some of the key problems in these fields, such as data integration, data quality, data interpretation, data visualization, data mining, data modelling, data validation, and data discovery. We will also highlight some of the ethical, social, and legal implications of using AI in bioinformatics and CADD, such as data privacy, data security, data ownership, data sharing, data governance, data accountability, and data responsibility.

Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) has become the latest tool in facilitating the computer-assisted teaching-learning process. The AI-based teaching system is viewed as a personalized one-on-one student-teacher interaction. AI in education is becoming more common and has received a lot of attention recently. This growing interest is likely to have a big impact on higher education. Many educators and educational authorities are considering integrating AI topics into K-12 curricula, to provide school students with insights into these evolving technologies. Recent studies on AI curricula have mostly concentrated on identifying which AI tools are better for student learning and what subject matter knowledge and abilities need to be taught. Since the goal of these studies was to promote information, they designed their curriculum with appropriate content, effective delivery methods, and strategies to increase students' competency levels. Environmental education seeks to explore natural processes and foster the development of skills and attitudes geared towards sustainability and the protection of the environment. Recently, AI has been widely used in geological, environmental, and related research. It can also assist in the exploration of energy resources and minerals. The use of AI in education teaching-learning and academic achievement has been elucidated in this chapter. This chapter also aims to explore the role of AI-assisted teaching of environmental sciences and how it impacts the overall learning experience. Understanding the role of AI in environmental sciences is very important as it can address crucial problems like climate change, early prediction of natural disasters, and many others. Currently, there is a need to develop accurate models at an affordable time and cost. Other than research, the implementation of AI in environmental education can lead to a change in students’ aptitude and interest and can help in the development of sensitivity towards environmental protection.

Abstract
Understanding the underlying physics of a physical system at both the cosmological and molecular scales has been a focus of attention for decades. Modeling the system using ordinary and partial differential equations along with the Markov Chain Monte Carlo technique are the conventional methods being used. These methods have been proven to reconcile accurate results, however, they fail miserably when the physics is not completely known, which leads to the presence of a large number of free parameters in the model describing the system. Recently, conventional methods have been aided by the use of machine learning techniques to solve real-world problems, which include the use of artificial neural networks such as convolutional neural networks, generative adversarial networks, and random forests. The ability of these techniques to understand the complexity of a physical system and predict new physics solely from data has given a new edge to conventional methods. Their prevalent applications lie in parameter prediction, where available data is used to train a neural network model, and then physical quantities are predicted using the trained model. Classification is another fundamental aspect of machine learning that involves predicting the specific family or category to which the provided data pertains. These techniques find an essential place in physics, providing important insights into complex systems.

Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing our everyday tasks, and education has certainly not been left behind. AI harnesses technologies such as machine learning, natural language processing, and deep learning, to execute tasks and elevate our problem-solving capabilities. The infinite possibilities that arise due to interactions between atoms and molecules further leading to bond formation are nearly impossible for a human to comprehend. Thus, AI is playing a vital role in understanding chemistry by accelerating research, designing novel molecules, and optimizing processes. AI plays a diverse role, from assisting in drug discovery research to identifying new drug targets to supporting personalized learning experiences that aid students in their learning journeys. AI-powered adaptive learning system identifies a student’s performance and tailor the learning requirements accordingly. Students receive real-time feedback and personalised content helping them to understand the concepts more easily. AI is being used to develop interactive simulations and customized learning programs to help students learn chemistry more efficiently. Virtual laboratories driven by AI provide a safe and reachable environment for hands-on experience. This allows students to be inquisitive about chemical reactions, molecular structures, and their spectroscopic analysis in a risk-free environment. Some examples include Chat GPT, which helps create a customized learning experience for students while helping them answer their queries, an AI-powered tutoring system known as Socratic, which helps the students learn chemistry concepts, and Molecules in Motion (an AI-powered simulation) to inspect the behaviour of molecules. This chapter discusses how the union of AI and chemical sciences has accelerated innovation in the field of chemistry and can further improve learning outcomes.
