Episode 1, Part 3 of PharmTech AI Pulse Check covers why INTerpath-001's AI isn't ChatGPT and names pharma manufacturing's biggest AI governance gaps.

Florin Muraru, Gourav Pandey, and Richard Jaenisch explain where human sign-off belongs as multi-agent AI and document-parsing models reach GxP.

Jaenisch, Muraru, and Pandey debate whether AI "slop" is infiltrating pharma SOPs and deviation reports and who should catch it first.

PharmTech AI Pulse Check debuts: pharma experts tackle GxP 'slop,' multi-agent validation risk, OCR document mining, personalized mRNA cancer therapy.

The FDA opened an expedited IND pilot, tightened scrutiny of foreign trial data, and finalized a rule recognizing non-animal testing methods. In Europe, the EMA advanced pharmaceutical legislation reform, restricted 2 legacy products, and opened an injectable-iron safety review.

Pharma manufacturing spent 90 years learning that producing correct outputs isn't the same as catching your own errors. AI has only learned the first.

Ron Scarboro, Azurity Pharmaceuticals, explains why real-world usability belongs at product definition and how post-launch feedback should guide drug formulation.
