Navigating AI’s Peril and Promise: The Executive Perspective

According to Garth, AI is not a tool that’s going to go away, it’s not a fad. AI is going to be commonplace and as an employee at a company, or as a person within the workforce, if you don’t know how to leverage that tool, it’s going to be a challenge for you in the future.

Here’s what you’ll take away from this conversation:

  • LLMs as smarter pattern matchers unlocking efficiency gains
  • Practical wins: executive summaries, procedure-to-reg comparisons, faster investigations, stronger CAPA reviews
  • Why human-in-the-loop is essential in regulated workflows
  • Reducing hallucinations with better prompting and context-window awareness
  • The case for not waiting—regulators are already using AI

In Brief

AI in life sciences is no longer experimental—it’s operational. As Garth Conrad stressed, success depends on understanding how these tools work, applying them to practical use cases, and keeping humans in the loop to ensure compliance. With regulators already adopting AI, MedTech organizations that wait risk falling behind.
