Artificial Intelligence for GxP
Learn how Sware is investing in AI to change the future of GxP validation in life sciences
The Critical Importance of Data, Quality, and Collaboration
As part of its mission to implement artificial intelligence (AI) in a strategic and responsible way, Sware is working closely with leaders in IT and Quality to build a framework for robust data management, risk management, and close collaboration between IT and Quality teams.
Bringing Together Process, People, and Tools
Life sciences companies are in deep analysis mode, looking for specific use cases where AI models can enhance productivity, reduce costs, and control risk. Creating a successful technology transition strategy requires a deep understanding of how the Process, People, and Tools come together to deliver measurable results.
Questions that life sciences companies should be asking:
Are our target process(es) correct and would they benefit from AI?
Are our experts equipped to understand, use, and manage AI?
Have we identified the right vendor or solution for the task at hand?
Primary Use Cases for AI in GxP
In the life sciences GxP domain, use cases include:
-
Drug target identification
-
Trial design and monitoring
-
Content quality control (QC)
-
Site selection
-
Site recruitment and Retention
-
Real-world data (RWD) analysis
Regulatory Bodies are Paying Attention
As of today, there is no specific regulatory guidance defining quality controls or validation methods specific to AI and GxP compliance. However, the conversation around AI for GxP is gaining momentum, with major regulatory bodies contributing to the conversation. These bodies include:
The Future of Life Sciences Validation is Here: Are You Ready?
At a live roundtable event held in February 2024, three leaders from industry, IT, and Quality came together in Boston to discuss the future of GxP validation, including the role AI will play and the how to prepare for its inevitable integration. Read our whitepaper based on the illuminating discussion, hosted by Bryan Ennis (Founder, Sware) and featuring speakers Nathan McBride (Senior Vice President, IT at Xilio Therapeutics) and Aryaz Zomorodi (Associate Director, Systems Quality, SpringWorks Therapeutics).

Quality Must Play a Pivotal Role at Every Stage
Today’s consensus is that AI is both acceptable and valuable but must exist firmly within existing IT-quality control frameworks. Quality leaders must be prepared to work closely with their IT counterparts to implement GxP solutions that offer explainable, transparent AI technologies, as well as develop robust SOPs that establish parameters for effective and responsible use.
Proper data governance forms a crucial foundation for success: put simply, bad data in leads to bad data out. Using our established lens, it’s important to ask: is our data curation process up to modern standards; do we have the right people overseeing data ops; and finally, do we have the right tools in place to store and organize our data, either via warehousing or data lakes?
