KEY TAKEAWAYS         

• Eularis was created to look at mathematics on commercial activities within pharmaceuticals.
• Generative AI takes elements of real data, looks at the database which it’s been trained on, makes new connections and generates something new.
• We’re going to have to get to a point where we have some kind of digital certificate in our voice, our video, images, that authenticates whether it’s actually us or not, almost like a digital fingerprint

BEST MOMENTS
‘AI is a broad term, there are so many different types of techniques which are classified as artificial intelligence and under each one there are different types.’
‘We can use AI to repurpose existing drugs – and this happened with Covid.’
‘I’ve recently come across AI that is predicting with very high accuracy whether a drug will be successful or not in the long term. That’s set to revolutionise the industry.’
