Abstract: AI has the power to transform the pharmaceutical industry from increasing research precision, to improving safety for patients, and advancing science. As a part of their mission to chase the miracles of science, Sanofi’s AI Center of Excellence opened in Toronto in 2022. Now a year old and a part of the global Digital Data team, the team is developing critical products in research, clinical development, manufacturing, supply chain and corporate that are being deployed across Sanofi’s 100+ markets. The team will share an overview of the critical business problems being solved, along with the AI and analytical techniques done to get there, as well as their Machine Learning Operations platform that helps the team achieve speed and scale with appropriate compute and controls. A deep dive will be done on techniques used for indication identification for clinical data, yield optimization in manufacturing sites and next best action engines.
