“AI’s biggest advantage is its flexibility – and the way a human can interface with it.”

In this episode Carsten talks with Julian Kurz, Lead Machine Learning Engineer at HMS Analytical Software, about how generative AI is changing collaboration in pharma, why practical AI needs multiple interaction layers (buttons, chat, transparent code), the tension between ROI pressure and real-world change management, and why “context engineering” plus a strong data culture are key to reliable, cost-effective agentic systems.
