📢 Every purchase also includes our FREE companion AI Validation, GAMP 5 & GxP Compliance for Life Sciences eBook, designed to help you apply principles in real-world manufacturing settings.

What you will learn

Understand the fundamentals of AI validation, GAMP 5 principles, GxP requirements, and their role in ensuring compliant AI systems in life sciences.

Learn risk-based validation approaches, AI/ML model lifecycle management, computerized system validation (CSV), and change control processes.

Develop knowledge of data integrity (ALCOA+), audit trails, model training and testing, documentation, and regulatory expectations for AI systems.

Gain practical understanding of AI governance, performance monitoring, model updates, supplier oversight, and maintaining validated AI systems throughout their lifecycle.

Course Syllabus

  1. What counts as AI, machine learning and generative AI - and why behaviour matters more than labels
  2. AI-enabled systems across the GxP lifecycle: manufacturing, QC, clinical, pharmacovigilance, quality and regulatory
  3. Four properties that raise the assurance bar: data dependence, opacity, drift and autonomy potential
  4. Classifying use cases from low-risk productivity tools to regulated decision-making
  5. The influence x consequence risk matrix and the AI use-case inventory

  1. Core GAMP 5 principles: risk-based assurance, critical thinking and leveraging the supplier
  2. Lifecycle thinking for AI: concept, project, deploy and operate phases
  3. Intended use and fitness for purpose as the anchor of assurance decisions
  4. Supplier assessment for AI providers and closing residual evidence gaps
  5. Scalable, living documentation: traceability over volume

  1. Writing a specific, bounded and testable question of interest
  2. Intended use versus actual use - detecting and controlling use creep
  3. Context of use: advisory, influential and determinative outputs and the assurance bar
  4. Boundaries, exclusions, limitations and out-of-range handling
  5. Converting intended use into validation requirements and oversight design

  1. Scoring model influence and decision consequence: severity, scale, reversibility and detectability
  2. Three impact lenses: patient safety, product quality and data integrity
  3. Automation bias and why human oversight can quietly fail
  4. False positives versus false negatives - the error asymmetry in GxP
  5. Residual risk acceptance, escalation thresholds and governance routing

  1. Why data quality bounds every performance claim - governing data before validating models
  2. ALCOA+ applied to training, tuning, test and production data
  3. Data provenance, lineage and audit trails for data preparation
  4. Representativeness, sampling bias, label bias and under-represented cases
  5. Labelling controls, privacy, access control and third-party data risk

  1. From intended use and risk tier to a proportionate validation strategy
  2. Testable functional, performance, data and operational requirements
  3. Sensitivity, specificity, precision and why accuracy alone deceives on imbalanced data
  4. Confidence intervals, per-case uncertainty and acceptance criteria set before testing
  5. Explainability proportionate to risk, verification versus validation, and documented deviations

  1. Designing genuine review points: information, time and competence to disagree
  2. Escalation pathways for low-confidence, borderline and novel cases
  3. Override governance - what override rates reveal about model fit and reviewer engagement
  4. Countering automation bias with evidence, vigilance checks and workload management
  5. Segregation of duties, exception handling and defensible decision trails

  1. Monitoring production performance against validation metrics
  2. Data drift, concept drift and performance decay - and their different responses
  3. Alert thresholds paired with predefined actions
  4. Versioning model, data and configuration together; change-control triggers
  5. Retraining, revalidation, regression testing, periodic review and controlled retirement

  1. Why you can outsource the model but never the accountability
  2. Assessing AI suppliers on data and model transparency, not just IT quality
  3. Cloud and SaaS AI: data residency, multi-tenant security and visibility of model changes
  4. Large language models: input confidentiality and plausible-but-wrong outputs
  5. Technical and quality agreements, change notification, audit rights, exit strategy and continuity

  1. What inspectors and auditors ask about AI-enabled systems
  2. The model inventory and per-system evidence packs
  3. The AI governance committee, roles and SOP framework embedded in the existing QMS
  4. AI incidents through CAPA and a maturity view of AI governance
  5. The 90-day roadmap from ad hoc AI use to a defensible, improving system

  1. 📘 Bonus: AI Validation, GAMP 5 & GxP Compliance for Life Sciences eBook (Free with purchase)
