Digital Transformation
Nikolai Makaranka, Bristol Myers Squibb
There is a lot of buzz surrounding AI and its potential to revolutionize various industries, including pharma. However, despite the hype, the adoption of AI often lags, and its actual implementations remain limited to proof-of-concepts. This presentation will bridge this gap by showcasing an in-house-built AI solution that leverages the latest advancements in NLP for deviations analysis.The presentation will walk the audience through practical aspects of building and scaling an AI solution, focusing on key points such as preparing data and training a model. It will delve into the business impact of the solution and, whenever possible, demonstrate examples where the solution adds value. Specifically, it will demo search capabilities, similarity or recurrence analysis, and automated trending. Furthermore, the presentation will address a crucial aspect of building an AI solution -- assessing solution's performance. It will discuss what a validation protocol might look like for AI solutions to ensuring their reliability and effectiveness.Lastly, the audience will be guided through steps to kickstart the adoption of AI for Quality within their organizations. By the end of the presentation, attendees will have a clear understanding of how to leverage AI to reengineer and enhance quality processes.

1530-1600: Responsible Use of AI in a Regulated Environment by Michael Schmeiszer and Nader Shafiei
 
The rapid evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) brings immense opportunity to the pharmaceutical and biotech industries to boost drug discovery, accelerate development, and increase efficiency in manufacturing. At the same time the regulatory environment is still very much in flux and robust regulatory guidance does not yet exist.The combination of rapid innovation and uncertain regulatory context creates a high-risk environment for companies that want to adopt AI at scale across the value chain.We will discuss a framework to assess AI-related risks and implement appropriate controls in a pragmatic way, leveraging existing system life-cycle processes, to enable both innovative and responsible use of AI in a regulated environment.

 
 
1600-1700: AI Discussion Panel - Reflections on Past Missed Opportunities (QbD, PAT) and How to Navigate AI for Success 
 
Join our expert panel as we reflect on missed opportunities in QbD and PAT, exploring how the biopharmaceutical industry can learn from past experiences to successfully navigate AI implementation. While AI holds immense potential to revolutionize the industry, adoption has been uneven. We'll delve into the challenges faced, including data quality, regulatory hurdles, talent shortages, and ethical considerations, discussing how to overcome these obstacles and leverage AI's transformative power in a rapidly changing technological landscape.
