  • LI010: GxP in the Age of AI with Bob Buhlmann, Head of Digital Strategy @ AstraZeneca
    Feb 4 2026

    Join us for an unscripted LinkedIn Live podcast hosted by xLM Continuous Intelligence in conversation with Mr. Bob Buhlmann, a seasoned pharma leader with experience from consulting to senior roles at Amgen, now Head of Quality, Digital and Computer Strategy at AstraZeneca.


    This live discussion explores how AI is applied in GxP-regulated manufacturing environments, drawing on global operations experience. Mr. Buhlmann offers a regulatory perspective, having engaged with global health authorities including the FDA (USA), EMA (EuroZone), MHRA (UK), MPA (Sweden), NMPA (China), while overseeing AIadoption across IT and manufacturing.


    Expect an open, no-slides conversation on:

    • How health authorities view AI in regulated manufacturing

    • What actually works (and what doesn’t) when deploying AI in GxP systems

    • Moving from theoretical compliance to operational impact

    • How Big Pharma is taking strides across their global operations


    If you’re navigating AI adoption in pharma manufacturing, quality, or compliance, this conversation is for you.


    Note: All views expressed in this podcast are the views of Mr. Bob Buhlmann and DO NOT represent the views of AstraZeneca.

  • A063: cIV (Continuous Intelligent Validation) AI App - Demo
    Dec 31 2025

    Continuous Intelligent Validation (cIV) simplifies and automates GxP-compliant software validation using cutting-edge AI. Built on advanced AI models, cIV helps teams accelerate validation while improving consistency and inspection readiness.


    With cIV, you can:

    1️⃣Convert existing knowledge (e.g., manuals and specifications) into structured, GxP-compliant User Requirements Specifications (URS).

    2️⃣Generate comprehensive, traceable test cases from the URS using retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to support robust coverage and auditability.

    3️⃣Execute tests via autonomous agents that validate requirements, capture audit trails, and produce traceable evidence—including screenshots and logs.


    Why cIV:

    💥Structured compliance: Automatically generate URS and test cases tailored to GxP standards.

    💥Efficient execution: Automate test runs with validation and traceable evidence.

    💥Centralized monitoring: Manage tasks and review outcomes through an integrated dashboard.

    💥Scalability: Adapt to change with a flexible architecture and self-healing capability as software evolves.

  • AP022: McKinsey’s State of AI 2025 Report - A roadmap to successful AI in Pharma
    Nov 16 2025

    McKinsey’s State of AI 2025 report marks 2025 as a pivotal year for validated AI. While 88% of companies have adopted AI, only 39% realize measurable impact—and just 6% are true high performers. What sets leaders apart? They treat validation, governance, and workflow redesign as essential to scale, not as afterthoughts.


    This podcast unpacks why embedding validation at every stage—through frameworks like xLM’s Audit, Automate, Accelerate (AAA)—will define competitive advantage in life science manufacturing. Discover how moving from compliance-as-cost to compliance-as-growth-driver is the key to unlocking sustained value with AI.


    If you’re serious about scaling AI with trust, transparency, and real financial results, this is a must-read for 2025.

  • A055: From Compliance to Competitive Edge
    Nov 5 2025

    There is a critical need for pharmaceutical companies to combine Artificial Intelligence (AI) expertise with GxP regulatory compliance to achieve future success. The slow experimentation is no longer viable, as the next decade will see exponential AI growth and automation across the industry. A core concept introduced is the AAA Framework (Audit, Automate, Accelerate), which reframes governance not as a barrier but as a growth engine for innovation. Compliance and AI must converge to create hybrid teams who can effectively transition from proof-of-concept to enterprise-wide, validated deployments. The ability to rapidly validate and maintain continuous governance will define competitive advantage in the AI-driven pharmaceutical landscape.

  • A054: From Vision to Validation—and Then Scale
    Oct 29 2025

    The primary challenge facing organizations is not adopting AI but ensuring governance and validation throughout the process, citing major global perspectives from Gartner’s 2027 disruption forecast and Goldman Sachs' strategic AI integration.


    xLM’s proprietary AAA (Audit–Automate–Accelerate) Sprint, a five-day program designed to quickly transition organizations from an AI concept to a compliant, risk-ready, and validated operational framework. This program focuses on addressing risks, embedding governance into design, and bridging the AI skills gap to achieve measurable Return on Investment (ROI) and scalable intelligence. Ultimately, the source argues that validation is the new differentiator for leadership in the rapidly changing AI landscape.
