Explore AI and Digital Tools-Focused Sessions

The 2024 ISPE Annual Meeting & Expo features a variety of sessions that explore digital tools, including AI/ML, offering attendees a chance to learn more about these cutting-edge advancements:

Regulatory Guidance on AI/ML Initiatives

Regulators are developing policies on AI/ML as use cases and potential applications for these new capabilities continue to evolve. Representatives from across the industry and regulatory bodies around the world, including the US Food and Drug Administration (US FDA), will be available to share insights, answer questions, and provide guidance at the 2024 ISPE Annual Meeting & Expo.

• “Responsible Use of AI in a Regulated Environment:” Secure a helpful framework for assessing AI-related risks as more formalized regulatory guidance continues to be explored and developed. Understand how to implement appropriate controls for AI/ML utilization in a pragmatic way to enable the innovative and responsible use of AI in a regulated environment
• Evolving AI Regulations on an International Scale: “Global AI Healthcare Regulations: Trends and Future” will discuss the regulatory landscape surrounding the utilization of AI in the medical device industry around the world with a focus on international initiatives—the presentation will include a discussion around the World Health Organization’s comprehensive principles governing ethical AI and will look at country-specific regulations spotlighting regulatory approaches of the EU, UK, China, India, Saudi Arabia, and more
• Engage in discussions on AI algorithms with experts and regulators: ISPE’s “Global Regulatory Town Hall: Future is Now” will address a variety of evolving topics, including AI algorithms, with questions like, “How can the industry and regulators ensure the quality, reliability, and validity of the artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms and systems that are increasingly used in the pharmaceutical sector, such as for drug discovery, clinical trials, pharmacovigilance, and manufacturing?”

ISPE Guidance on Risk Management for AI/ML Initiatives

ISPE also provides resources on effective AI/ML risk management. Digital tools and AI/ML technologies promise significant advancements. However, they also come with new challenges, highlighting the need for robust risk management frameworks. The “Machine Learning Risk and Control Framework” offers essential guidance for identifying, assessing, and mitigating AI-related risks in GxP environments, ensuring adherence to quality and regulatory standards.

Why AI and ML Risk Management Matters

Digitalization initiatives that incorporate AI and ML require a balanced approach: they are worthy of exploration but also must be approached with caution. ISPE’s Machine Learning Risk and Control Framework supports this balance by offering a dynamic approach to risk management, ensuring product integrity, patient safety, regulatory compliance, and more are upheld as AI/ML advancements are incorporated into various projects/explored as use cases.
