AI is having a productive time in pharma and healthcare

Two years ago the use of AI in pharma and healthcare looked to be quickly heading for what Gartner’s Hype Cycle model would term the Plateau of Productivity. After the COVID-powered digital transformations of both pharma and healthcare, there can be little doubt that artificial intelligence is already having a productive time across our sector.

It could even be, as consultants GlobalData predicted back in January, this year’s most disruptive technology across the pharmaceutical industry, though if this promise is to be realised there is much more work to be done about its ethical implications.
