E197: Inside the AI Factory: How AI Systems Builds Workflows That Actually Work
In this episode, we take you inside the AI factory — the place where companies are transforming real business operations using AI workflows, not just experimenting with flashy demos or proofs of concept.AI strategist Dustin Jensen breaks down what differentiates AI systems that scale from those that become expensive experiments. He explains why companies waste money when they “throw AI at a workflow” without truly understanding the process, the data, and the human-in-the-loop requirements.You’ll hear how to build AI workflows that integrate with existing infrastructure, collaborate with people, and close the loop on real tasks — not copilots that need constant oversight.What You’ll Learn:What an AI factory actually is and how it worksHow to turn AI pilots into production-grade systemsThe role of workflow discovery and data flow mappingWhy most AI deployments fail due to poor data quality and lack of readinessHow to design systems where humans and AI collaborate seamlesslyThe mindset shift employees need when adopting generative AI toolsThe difference between copilots and AI agents that close the loop on tasksHow to build AI with safety, reliability, and error-handling designed inWhy small, specialized agents outperform “monolithic” do-everything modelsAbout the PodcastAI for Pharma Growth is a podcast focused on exploring how artificial intelligence can revolutionise healthcare by addressing disparities and creating equitable systems.

E194: The Digital Twin Revolution: Reimagining Clinical Trials
In this episode, we explore one of the most disruptive advancements currently reshaping the pharmaceutical and biotech industry: AI-powered digital twins for clinical trials.Our guest, Aaron Smith, PhD — Founder and Head of Machine Learning at Unlearn.AI — breaks down how digital twins and generative AI are transforming drug development by enabling faster, smaller, and more efficient clinical trials.Unlearn.AI builds digital twin models: virtual patient replicas created using clinical trial data, registry data, and real-world data. These digital twins allow researchers to simulate how a patient’s disease will progress under standard care, long before a clinical trial is completed. When combined with randomized controlled trials, this technology reduces data variability, increases trial power, and can dramatically shrink sample sizes and timelines.Some pharma companies are already estimating a six-month reduction in time-to-market, with millions saved in development and operational costs.What You’ll LearnWhat digital twins are and how they simulate patient outcomes using real-world clinical data.How AI is enabling smaller Phase III trials without sacrificing statistical power.Why digital twins are helping pharma identify which patients are most likely to benefit from specific treatments.The biggest barriers to adopting AI in drug development (hint: it’s not the regulators — it’s culture).Trends shaping the future of clinical trials and precision medicine over the next 10 years.Digital twins reduce variability and increase power by predicting how each patient would progress under standard care.The approach (called Prognostic Covariate Adjustment / ProCova) can be used in traditional randomized controlled trials.Pharma partners expect significant reductions in trial timelines and costs.AI enables precision trial design by identifying the most prognostic patient features and outcome measures.About the PodcastAI for Pharma Growth is a podcast focused on exploring how artificial intelligence can revolutionise healthcare by addressing disparities and creating equitable systems.
