AI Maturity Model for GxP Application

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become one of the supporting pillars for digitalization in many areas of the business world. The pharmaceutical industry and its GxP-regulated areas also want to use AI in a beneficial way, but only a small fraction of companies follows a systematic approach for the digitalization of their operations and validation. However, the assurance of integrity and quality of outputs via computerized system validation is essential for applications in GxP environments.
