Artificial Intelligence in Analytical Chemistry: Has the Instrument Become Smarter than the Researcher? Subtitle: Intelligent algorithms reshaping analytical methods and opening new horizons in data interpretation Introduction: The world is witnessing a rapid digital transformation, where artificial intelligence has become an integral part of modern laboratories, fundamentally changing how chemical analyses are performed. Article: With the rapid advancement of computational technologies, artificial intelligence (AI) has become a key tool in analytical chemistry. Its role is no longer limited to data processing; it now extends to interpreting results and supporting decision-making processes. Modern approaches rely on machine learning algorithms to analyze complex datasets generated by instruments such as liquid chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry. These algorithms can recognize patterns, deconvolute overlapping signals, and even predict the presence of unknown compounds with high accuracy. Among
