2025 Symposium on
Artificial Intelligence and Pharmaceutical Medicine
(AIPM-India)

About Symposium

The 2025 Symposium aims to provide a forum for experts from the pharmaceutical industry, academia, and other key stakeholders to advance the use of AI in drug development and deployment. While AI has the potential to transform this paradigm, there is growing awareness of the challenges and unintended consequences that may arise. As personalized, evidence-based medicine becomes more prevalent, the use of AI to optimize drug deployment presents new and complex challenges. This symposium will serve as a platform for distinguished statisticians, data scientists, regulators, and other professionals to discuss the opportunities and challenges posed by AI in pharmaceutical medicine. It will also promote collaboration among industry, academia, regulatory agencies, and professional associations, with the goal of developing policy recommendations for the responsible implementation of AI in healthcare.
