What is the Pragmatic AI in Pharmaceutical R&D Operations course about?
Compliance officers face increasing pressure to validate AI-driven decisions in drug development without clear implementation standards. Traditional review cycles lag behind agile R&D timelines, risking delays or retroactive findings. Without structured, scalable methods to assess model provenance, data lineage, and decision auditability, teams default to rework or over-documentation, slowing time-to-insight and eroding trust.
