Keynote:

Impact of AI in the Life Science Industry

Dr. Rodney Sappington

2:00PM – 2:30PM

Using AI & ML in the Development of Drug & Biological Products

Abstract:

The FDA recognizes the growing role of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in the drug development lifecycle and across a diverse range of therapeutic areas.  These technologies are increasingly used across various stages of drug development, from discovery to postmarket safety surveillance.  This talk will cover the landscape of potential and current uses of AI/ML, considerations for the use of AI/ML, and next steps and engagement with industry.

Dr. Rodney Sappington’s groundbreaking research has significantly impacted the landscape of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, particularly in the realms of medical diagnostics, drug discovery, and nanomaterial manufacturing. With over two decades of experience in these fields, he has pioneered innovative methodolgies that have revolutionized early disease detection and therapeutic development. His work has extended in multi-agent-based research in AI Alignment for on capturing the emergence of prosocial and antisocial algorithmic behavior.

 

One of Dr. Sappington’s notable achievements lies in his adept utilization of deep learning techniques for the early identification of high-mortality diseases. His pioneering approach has not only transformed critical healthcare practices but has also set new standards for the integration of AI in medical applications. By pushing the boundaries of technology, Dr. Sappington has demonstrated a steadfast commitment to tackling pressing healthcare challenges head-on.

 

Beyond healthcare, Dr. Sappington’s influence extends into the realms of AI and machine learning systems and software development at scale. His visionary leadership has propelled the creation of advanced manufacturing platforms tailored for nanomaterial optimization. These platforms have played a pivotal role in addressing diverse challenges, from ensuring clean water access to facilitating advancements in zero-gravity environments. He is currently focused in muti-agent based deep reinforcement learning for creating artificial empathy in early AGI to prevent sociopathic AI.

 

Throughout his career, Dr. Sappington has demonstrated a multifaceted approach to problem-solving, blending technical expertise with a keen understanding of human-centered design principles. His interdisciplinary background has equipped him with a unique perspective, enabling him to navigate complex challenges with agility and foresight. Dr. Sappington’s advocacy for a human-centered approach to AI underscores his unwavering dedication to prioritizing societal benefits and mitigating potential adverse impacts on human lives.
