Digital Ecosystem: How AI Is Transforming the Pharmaceutical Industry
3 June, 16:00–17:30 Congress Centre, zone B, 2nd floor, conference hall B2
Artificial intelligence is fundamentally transforming the pharmaceutical sector by restructuring numerous processes, from fundamental research to the delivery of medicines to patients. The introduction of these technologies has significantly reduced the time and cost associated with developing new drugs by optimizing each stage of the process. The integration of AI into pharmaceuticals is accelerating the development of new drugs, streamlining clinical trials, enhancing the precision of quality control in manufacturing, and improving the efficiency of supply chains. The rapid advancement of digital technologies is one of the biggest trends in the healthcare sector right now. While the integration of AI into medicine improves diagnostic accuracy and automates routine tasks, it also raises critical questions about liability for errors, data privacy protection, and adherence to ethical standards. Key challenges include the legal regulation of the technology used, integration into existing digital ecosystems, and the need to train healthcare professionals to effectively interact with AI-driven systems. How does the use of AI in manufacturing processes impact drug safety? How is AI shifting the pharmaceutical industry toward a paradigm of personalized and predictive medicine? Where has the use of AI already become routine practice, and which tools remain in the development phase? How do we choose between groundbreaking, costly, and complex technologies versus ensuring universal access to simple yet vital digital tools? What specific areas hold the greatest promise for the digitalization of preventive medicine and health preservation? How will the adoption of an interdisciplinary approach and the convergence of AI advancements with other medical disciplines impact how people look after their health in the future?
