AI Readiness for Life Sciences

Is your organization actually ready to scale AI?

Most life sciences organizations aren’t, and it’s rarely the AI that’s the problem. This guide walks through the data foundation, compliance landscape, GxP validation practices, and governance model your organization needs before AI moves past a pilot.

  • Unifying LIMS, EDC, and ELN data into one governed foundation
  • Navigating the FDA, EMA, and EU AI Act requirements (2025–2026)
  • Applying GxP and GAMP 5 validation to AI/ML models
  • Standing up cross-functional AI governance that actually works

Inside the Guide

Four steps to AI readiness

A practical framework built specifically for regulated pharma and biotech, not a generic AI playbook.

The Data Foundation

Unify siloed LIMS, EDC, and partner data, enforce ALCOA+ principles, and standardize on FHIR, OMOP, and DICOM.

Compliance Landscape

The FDA’s credibility framework, the 2026 FDA/EMA joint principles, and what the EU AI Act means for you.

GxP Best Practices

Risk-based validation with CSA and GAMP 5, continuous drift monitoring, and explainability for QA and auditors.

Governance & Culture

Stand up a lightweight cross-functional AI committee and a formal intake process for every new AI request.
