In an era where AI and automation are reshaping industries, healthcare and pharmaceuticals stand poised to leverage the transformative potential of agentic artificial intelligence (AI). This keynote will explore how embracing a “fail-fast, learn-fast” mindset catalyzes innovation in AI-driven healthcare solutions. Through real-world narratives and lessons learned, Leo Barella will unpack how iterative learning creates opportunities to regulate, integrate, and build trust in AI systems while enabling improved patient outcomes. The session will uncover strategies for fostering resilience, iterative innovation, and governance in healthcare AI adoption, culminating in actionable ideas for decision-making excellence powered by generative and agentic AI.
