2024 PHUSE GMD linear data with blue background
Gen AI and large language models (LLMs) have been at the forefront of innovation over the past two years. Today, process optimization and automation are top priorities for many of our Clinical Operations customers. The challenge now lies in leveraging these technologies within clinical research environments—where reliability and repeatability are paramount. It is essential to keep Clinical Scientists actively involved in the decision-making loop.

These are the conversations we are eager to engage in with our long-standing PHUSE community and sees how SAS evolve its capabilities to deliver high-value, agentic AI-powered enhancements to a modern, multi-lingual and compliancy-enabling Stat Computing Environment or SCE.
