What is the Mid-Market AI in Pharmaceutical R&D course about?

Mid-market pharmaceutical companies are adopting AI faster than compliance frameworks can keep up. Traditional audit methods don’t scale to dynamic data pipelines, model updates, or automated decision logs. Officers are expected to ensure adherence without clear playbooks, often relying on legacy checklists that miss critical AI-specific risks. This creates friction between innovation teams and oversight functions, delays in trial execution, and potential.
