AI Impact and Value Poll

In partnership with Thoughtworks we conducted a poll among the 300 delegates at our 2026 Spring Conference to understand the impact AI is having in life sciences R&D. While AI use is becoming widespread across our industry our poll shows AI is not truly embedded across organizations and the value is not reaching into specialized R&D activities. As AI evolves as a capability, collaboration will be essential for closing the gap between AI investment and value. Successful adoption will require getting both the data and people elements right and ensuring we continue to work together alongside regulators to shape the data and standards required to scale AI safely and effectively.
