Listen to the new episode of the Clinical Trial Files podcast, where Karin Avila, Taymeyah Al-Toubah and Thomas Wood of Fast Data Science chat about AI and NLP in pharma, the Clinical Trial Risk Tool, what impact AI can make in clinical trials. This episode commemorates Alan Turing’s 113rd birthday on 23 June 2025.
The group chatted about how a team of data scientists together with clinical professionals can be much greater than the sum of its parts, and what traditional machine learning, statistics, and generative AI can achieve in the clinical research field.
Thomas Wood also discussed the thinking behind Fast Data Science’s flagship product, the Clinical Trial Risk Tool, and why and how this tool came to exist and how it’s helping clinical researchers validate protocols. Karin and Taymeyah told us about the exciting developments in AI that they are seeing in clinical research.
The Clinical Trial Files podcast is organised by Karin Avila, Taymeyah Al-Toubah, and Roberto Torres. You can listen below on Spotify:

Guest post by Alex Nikic In the past few years, Generative AI technology has advanced rapidly, and businesses are increasingly adopting it for a variety of tasks. While GenAI excels at tasks such as document summarisation, question answering, and content generation, it lacks the ability to provide reliable forecasts for future events. GenAI models are not designed for forecasting, and along with the tendancy to hallucinate information, the output of these models should not be trusted when planning key business decisions. For more details, a previous article on our blog explores in-depth the trade-offs of GenAI vs Traditional Machine Learning approaches.
After this ruling, will tech companies move all model training to data centres that they consider “copyright safe”? Will we see a new equivalent of a “tax haven” for training AI models on copyrighted content? An “AI haven”? This article is not legal advice.
This new video explains natural language processing: what it is, how it works, and what can it do for your organisation. Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a branch of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that focuses on giving computers the ability to understand human language, combining disciplines like linguistics, computer science, and engineering.
