What is the Risk-Managed AI in Pharmaceutical R&D course about?
As AI tools accelerate drug discovery and clinical trial design, audit functions struggle to assess model provenance, data lineage, and change impact. Traditional audit approaches lack specificity for dynamic AI systems, creating delays, compliance gaps, and misalignment with development teams. Professionals need actionable, context-rich guidance to move from observation to governance.
