The conversation covers where AI excelled, drafting protocols, informed consent forms, IRB submissions, and case report forms, and where it struggled, including participant pre-screening. The guests discuss what these findings mean for the future of clinical research, the critical role of human oversight, and how AI could help make trial design and execution more accessible. The episode also explores cybersecurity, workforce implications, and the growing need for standards to evaluate AI quality and interoperability across clinical research.
