Recent advances in deep learning, protein language models, and generative AI have fundamentally changed the way antibodies are discovered and engineered. This review aims to present the historical evolution of computational antibody engineering, from early structure-based design strategies to modern AI-driven approaches, while highlighting the major computational tools, publicly available databases, current limitations, and future directions of the field. Methods: A comprehensive narrative review of the literature was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Original research articles, methodological studies, and review papers published between 1985 and 2026 were evaluated. Publications were selected according to their scientific relevance, methodological quality, and contribution to the historical development of computational antibody engineering. Results: The review describes the progression of antibody engineering from phage display and structure-based computational methods to machine learning, deep learning, protein language models, and generative artificial intelligence. It summarizes key public databases supporting antibody research, discusses advances in antibody structure prediction and developability assessment, and reviews recent generative models capable of designing antibody sequences and structures. Current challenges, including limited experimental validation, dataset bias, prediction of highly flexible regions, model interpretability, and clinical translation, are also discussed. Conclusions: Artificial intelligence has fundamentally reshaped computational antibody engineering by integrating sequence, structural, and functional information into increasingly accurate predictive and generative frameworks. Although important challenges remain, recent developments indicate that AI-driven approaches will play an increasingly central role in the discovery and optimization of next-generation therapeutic antibodies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/antib15050081","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,2]],"date-time":"2026-09-02T08:56:01Z","timestamp":1788339361000},"page":"81","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The Evolution of Artificial Intelligence in Antibody Design: From Structure-Based Engineering to Generative Models"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-5311-4900","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ida","family":"Szataniak","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"IMPAKT\u2014Interdisciplinary Student Research Group of Immunology, Allergology, Parasitology and Molecular Medicine, Department of Medical Sciences, W\u0142adys\u0142aw Biega\u0144ski Collegium Medicum, Jan D\u0142ugosz University in Cz\u0119stochowa, 42-200 Cz\u0119stochowa, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8646-1884","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kacper","family":"Packi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IMPAKT\u2014Interdisciplinary Student Research Group of Immunology, Allergology, Parasitology and Molecular Medicine, Department of Medical Sciences, W\u0142adys\u0142aw Biega\u0144ski Collegium Medicum, Jan D\u0142ugosz University in Cz\u0119stochowa, 42-200 Cz\u0119stochowa, Poland"},{"name":"Department of Immunoparasitology and Molecular Allergology, Jan D\u0142ugosz University in Cz\u0119stochowa, 42-200 Cz\u0119stochowa, Poland"},{"name":"AllerGen Center of Personalized Medicine, 97-300 Piotrk\u00f3w Trybunalski, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"D1140","DOI":"10.1093\/nar\/gkt1043","article-title":"SAbDab: The Structural Antibody Database","volume":"42","author":"Dunbar","year":"2014","journal-title":"Nucleic Acids Res."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"D432","DOI":"10.1093\/nar\/gku1106","article-title":"PyIgClassify: A database of antibody CDR structural classifications","volume":"43","author":"Xu","year":"2015","journal-title":"Nucleic Acids Res."},{"key":"ref_3","first-page":"D474","article-title":"AB-Bind: Antibody binding mutational database for computational affinity predictions","volume":"44","author":"Sirin","year":"2016","journal-title":"Nucleic Acids Res."},{"key":"ref_4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"bay040","DOI":"10.1093\/database\/bay040","article-title":"AbDb: Antibody structure database\u2014A database of PDB-derived antibody structures","volume":"2018","author":"Ferdous","year":"2018","journal-title":"Database"},{"key":"ref_5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2502","DOI":"10.4049\/jimmunol.1800708","article-title":"Observed Antibody Space: A resource for data mining next-generation sequencing of antibody repertoires","volume":"201","author":"Kovaltsuk","year":"2018","journal-title":"J.
