Course Overview

 

Artificial intelligence is rapidly gaining traction across CMC functions, but many organisations are not yet equipped to implement it effectively. Challenges around data quality, infrastructure, governance and regulatory expectations often prevent AI initiatives from progressing beyond early exploration.

 

This short course gives a clear, practical foundation: what AI can realistically do in a CMC setting, what needs to be in place before an organisation can adopt it (data, infrastructure, governance), and how the regulatory picture is taking shape. Through real-world examples and case studies, it helps teams set realistic expectations and sidestep the common pitfalls.

 

By the end of the course, attendees will have a practical roadmap for preparing their organisation for AI, ensuring initiatives are built on strong technical, operational and regulatory foundations.

  • Case study: a CDMO implementation, what worked and what was off-limits

 

The Regulatory Landscape: a finger on the pulse

  • How much AI regulation has arrived, and how quickly it is growing
  • The direction of travel across the major jurisdictions, and which are broadly more or less permissive
  • How public attitudes to AI shape the regulatory response
  • Where to find authoritative guidance when you need the detail
