In this podcast, we explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping clinical research – not as a replacement for human expertise, but as a powerful enabler. Matthew Jones, EVP of Data Innovation & AI, together with Lacey Wallace, Manager, Programming, and Vrushali Gosavi, Senior Manager, Programming, shares his perspective on navigating this shift responsibly, balancing innovation with trust, and ensuring that technology enhances rather than undermines the scientific rigor our industry depends on.
From the realities of productivity gains to the challenges of validation, governance, and accountability, this conversation explores what AI means in practice. It also highlights the importance of “human in the loop” thinking – keeping people central to decision-making and oversight.
