Explainability Does Not Equal Safety WPSC presentation

AI is becoming an increasingly important part of modern pharmacovigilance, creating new opportunities to support drug safety operations. But as organizations adopt AI, understanding how a model reaches a decision is only part of the challenge.

This presentation explores why explainability does not necessarily equal safety and examines the broader considerations involved in adopting AI responsibly within pharmacovigilance. It looks beyond explainability to consider what organizations need to think about as AI becomes more embedded in everyday safety operations.

Presented by Qinecsa’s Chief Product Officer, Beena Wood, at the World Patient Safety Congress in Europe and the US, the session offers a thought-provoking perspective on what it really means to use AI safely and responsibly in pharmacovigilance.
