In the rapidly evolving pharmaceutical landscape, artificial intelligence (AI) has been hailed as having the potential to revolutionize everything from drug discovery to pharmaceutical manufacturing. As the industry seeks to further explore and invest in potential opportunities for improvement and growth with AI, pursuing a thoughtful and informed approach to AI strategy planning becomes paramount.

The 2024 ISPE Annual Meeting & Expo, taking place from October 13-16 in Orlando, Florida, USA and virtually, is the gateway to understanding how to effectively explore, strategize around, and begin to set necessary guardrails for AI implementation, including data quality assurance, privacy protection, security, and more, across a wide range of potential use cases.

Why AI Exploration Matters in the Pharmaceutical Industry

AI has the potential to advance the industry in a variety of ways, from enhancing drug discovery and streamlining pharmaceutical manufacturing processes. However, opportunities associated with this nascent technology are accompanied by the need for a responsible approach to AI management and governance. AI governance frameworks can help address AI-related concerns and potential risks associated with AI bias, data privacy, transparency, and security. These frameworks can help ensure that AI applications operate within ethical and regulatory boundaries and that they are able to effectively safeguard data to provide data integrity and quality assurance.

Explore Cutting-Edge AI Sessions

The 2024 ISPE Annual Meeting & Expo offers a range of sessions dedicated to AI exploration, strategy-planning, and implementation:

  • Global AI Healthcare Regulations: Trends and Future: This presentation will delve into the evolving regulatory landscape surrounding AI applications in the medical device industry. Learn about international regulatory initiatives, with an comprehensive overview of the principles governing ethical AI and its regulatory frameworks from the World Health Organization (WHO); an in-depth exploration of country-specific regulations in the EU, UK, China, India, Saudi Arabia, and more; and how to validate and build reliance on internal AI systems using risk-based methodologies.
  • Overcoming Challenges of Digital Innovation (AI): The proliferation of AI is accompanied by inherent challenges as this emerging technology becomes more heavily utilized. These challenges include data availability and governance, the need for agile development processes and organizational change management, and more. Session attendees will gain valuable recommendations to inform a cross-disciplinary approach, with insights from data scientists, IT teams, and business stakeholders to support effective implementation.
  • Harnessing the Power of AI for Quality: While the AI hype is strong, AI adoption in the pharmaceutical industry is lagging and successful proof-of-concept examples remain limited. This presentation from Nikolai Makaranka with Bristol Myers Squibb will showcase an in-house-built AI solution that leverages the latest advancements in natural language processing for deviations analysis. Attendees will learn the practical aspects of how to build and scale an AI solution as well as how to assess an AI solution’s performance. As part of this, participants will learn how to kickstart the adoption of AI for quality within their organizations. They will walk away with a clear understanding of how to leverage AI to reengineer and enhance their quality processes.
