Why should you participate in this event?
- You will learn the basics of AI / ML and its applicability in the GxP Environment
- How can pharmaceutical basics, e.g. risk management and qualification / validation be applied to AI? You will experience first approaches!
- Are relevant pharmaceutical regulations adapted to this new technology and what expectations does an inspector have during an inspection? First concepts will be presented!
- In case studies, pharmaceutical companies show first practical and practised approaches to the use of AI
At the latest, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has arrived in the general public since ChatGPT and Bard. Opinions range between absolute euphoria and the invocation of the downfall of humanity. The foundations of AI were laid many years ago and can now be widely implemented due to massively available computing power. The topic has also found its way into the pharmaceutical landscape. First applications have come into operation. The interesting questions here are whether and how this technology is compatible with pharmaceutical regulations, specifications and authorities’ expectations.
The Online Training is aimed at managers and QA members as well as engineers from the pharmaceutical industry, suppliers and service companies who qualify and operate AI applications in a GxP environment.
To participate in an on demand training course or webinar, you do not need any software. The recordings are made available via a streaming server. In general, the recording is provided in MP4 format, which any PC (Microsoft Windows, Apple IOS) or tablet can easily display.
Timing and Duration:
When you register for the on demand Training course or webinar you can decide at what date you want to follow the training course online. For a 1-day training course you will have 2 days in which the stream is available (for 2-day training course 3 days and for a 3-day training course 4 days). Within in this timeframe you can start & stop the stream according to your needs.
In time before the scheduled date (your desired date) you will receive an e-mail from us with a link for direct participation as well as your log-in data.
Training Course Documentation and Certificate:
The presentations will be made available as PDF files via download shortly before the online training course. After the event, you will automatically receive your certificate of participation.
