We comprehensively review how AI and machine learning are reshaping small-molecule virtual screening, spanning AI-driven scoring functions, efficient search algorithms, and the paradigm shift toward generative de novo molecular design.

We propose pretrained embedding distance (PED), a molecular similarity measure computed directly from pretrained models without task-specific training, effective for both ranking molecules in virtual screening and guiding molecular generation via reward design.
