The Life Science EffectAI Validating AI: The Future of Compliance in Life Sciences Artificial intelligence is moving fast—but in regulated life science environments, speed without trust is a non‑starter. In this episode of The Life Science Effect, host Steven Vinson reacts to a recent EY article on AI validation in pharmaceutical and biotech settings and explores a fascinating question: Can AI actually be used to validate other AI systems? Steven walks through how regulators are beginning to rethink traditional validation models to accommodate AI's non‑deterministic nature, where the same input can produce different, but still acceptable, outputs. Drawing parallels to earlier industry shifts like electronic records, he explai...
