Episode Highlights:

[07:53] How AI Is Speeding Up Drug Discovery

AI is already revolutionizing life sciences, from decoding proteins with tools like AlphaFold to speeding up patient recruitment for clinical trials. However, to truly unlock its potential across research, development, and bedside care, we need to tackle one big roadblock: messy, non-standardized healthcare data. For AI to work its magic, we must clean up our data act.

[12:52] FDA’s Secret AI Bots

It’s easy to think of AI as just futuristic hype, but it’s already making a real impact behind the scenes in pharma, from smarter regulatory reviews to helping medical teams practice doctor conversations with AI chatbots. The big lesson? Don’t wait to see where AI fits; get curious now about how these tools can streamline your everyday work, make you more persuasive, and free up your time for what really matters.

[21:05] What’s Really Blocking AI Adoption in Pharma?

No matter how powerful AI tools are, they won’t be used if people feel threatened, unsupported, or disconnected from the value they bring. The real barrier isn’t technology; it’s mindset. To drive AI adoption in pharma, leaders need to tackle fear and skepticism head-on by embedding AI into daily work, aligning incentives, and showing real-life success stories that build trust and enthusiasm across every function.
