Regulatory pathways in the United States and Europe are becoming more complex. The FDA and the EMA continue to raise expectations for data quality, transparency, and oversight. At the same time, regulators are expanding their use of advanced digital tools, including artificial intelligence, to review submissions, monitor compliance, and identify risk.
For pharmaceutical companies, this shift changes how regulatory readiness should be defined. It is no longer enough to meet written requirements alone. Companies must be prepared for continuous supervision supported by AI-driven systems that can detect patterns, inconsistencies, and signals faster than traditional reviews.
Understanding how FDA and EMA pathways work today and how AI supervision fits into them is essential for long-term success.
Core FDA and EMA Regulatory Pathways
The FDA and EMA share the same goal of protecting public health, but their regulatory pathways differ in structure and process.
In the United States, drugs are typically approved through the New Drug Application or Biologics License Application process. These submissions include clinical, nonclinical, and manufacturing data. The FDA evaluates whether the product is safe, effective, and manufactured under appropriate quality standards.
FDA drug approval information is available at https://www.fda.gov/drugs
In Europe, the EMA oversees centralized marketing authorization for many products. A single approval allows access to all European Union member states. The review is conducted by scientific committees that assess quality, safety, and efficacy.
EMA regulatory guidance can be found at https://www.ema.europa.eu
While the pathways differ, both agencies expect robust data, strong quality systems, and ongoing compliance after approval.
The Shift Toward Continuous Oversight
Historically, regulatory oversight followed clear milestones. Sponsors submitted data. Regulators reviewed it. Inspections occurred at defined points. Today, oversight is becoming more continuous.
Post approval commitments, real-world evidence, and ongoing safety reporting mean that regulators receive data throughout a product life cycle. AI systems allow agencies to process large volumes of information efficiently.
This means issues may be identified earlier and more frequently. Trends that once took years to surface can now be detected in near real-time.
How AI Is Used by Regulators
Regulators use artificial intelligence in several ways. These tools help prioritize reviews, flag anomalies, and focus inspections on higher risk areas.
For example, AI can analyze adverse event reports to identify safety signals. It can review clinical datasets for unusual patterns. It can also examine manufacturing data to detect deviations or data integrity concerns.
The FDA has published information on its digital transformation efforts.
The EMA is also investing in advanced analytics to support regulatory science and supervision. More information. While AI does not replace human judgment, it guides attention and speeds decision-making.
What This Means for Regulatory Submissions
AI supervision changes how submissions are evaluated. Inconsistent data, unexplained outliers, and poor documentation are easier to detect.
Sponsors must ensure that datasets are clean, traceable, and well explained. Narrative justifications should align with underlying data. Discrepancies between modules or sections can trigger questions.
Regulators may compare current submissions with historical data from the same sponsor. Patterns of issues across programs may influence review focus.
This makes consistency and standardization across submissions more important than ever.
Data Integrity Under AI Review
Data integrity has long been a regulatory focus. AI-driven oversight raises the bar further.
Systems that automatically scan data can detect missing values, duplicate entries, or unusual trends. Manual workarounds and undocumented processes are more likely to be noticed.
Sponsors should ensure that data governance is strong across clinical, manufacturing, and pharmacovigilance systems. Access controls, audit trails, and validation remain essential.
Preparing for AI supervision means assuming that data will be examined at scale and in detail. FDA data integrity guidance is available for reference.
Clinical Trial Data and AI Scrutiny
Clinical trial data is a major focus of regulatory review. AI tools can evaluate consistency across sites, subjects, and time points.
For example, unusually similar data across different sites may raise questions. Unexpected enrollment patterns or protocol deviations may be flagged.
Sponsors should strengthen monitoring and quality control during trials. Early detection of issues allows corrective action before submission.
Clear documentation of deviations and decisions is critical. AI may identify the issue, but human reviewers will expect clear explanations.
Manufacturing and Quality Oversight
Manufacturing data is another area where AI supervision plays a growing role. Process data, deviation reports, and change records can be analyzed to identify trends.
Repeated deviations, delayed investigations, or weak corrective actions may draw attention. AI can also compare performance across sites or products.
Companies should ensure that quality systems are proactive rather than reactive. Trending and root cause analysis should be meaningful and timely. The FDA quality system expectations are clearly outlined on their site. Strong quality culture supports both compliance and operational performance.
Pharmacovigilance and Safety Monitoring
Post-market safety surveillance generates large volumes of data. AI helps regulators process adverse event reports more efficiently.
Signals may be detected earlier, leading to faster regulatory action. Sponsors must ensure timely and accurate reporting.
Safety databases should be validated and monitored. Follow-up procedures must be consistent and documented. Preparedness means having clear roles, trained staff, and reliable systems.
Here is a good description of FDA pharmacovigilance requirements
Transparency and Traceability Expectations
AI supervision increases expectations for transparency. Regulators may ask how conclusions were reached and how data was managed.
Traceability from raw data to final conclusions is essential. This applies to clinical analyses, manufacturing decisions, and safety assessments.
Documentation should be clear and accessible. Teams should be able to explain decisions without relying on informal knowledge.
This level of readiness supports inspections and builds regulator confidence.
Organizational Readiness for Ongoing Supervision
Preparing for AI-supported oversight is not just a technical challenge. It is an organizational one.
Leadership must support investment in systems, training, and governance. Teams must understand that oversight is continuous, not episodic.
Cross-functional collaboration becomes more important. Issues in one area may affect regulatory perception across the organization.
Training programs should emphasize data quality, documentation, and accountability.
Engaging With Regulators Proactively
Open communication with regulators remains important. Early discussions can help clarify expectations and reduce risk.
Sponsors should be prepared to explain how data is generated, managed, and reviewed. Transparency builds trust.
Regulatory science is evolving. Staying informed about guidance updates and regulatory initiatives helps organizations adapt. 1 2
Looking Ahead
AI supervision is becoming a permanent part of the regulatory landscape. It allows regulators to oversee more products, more data, and more activities with greater efficiency.
For pharmaceutical companies, this means readiness must be continuous. Quality, consistency, and transparency are no longer just best practices. They are essential expectations.
Organizations that embrace this shift and strengthen their regulatory foundations will be better positioned to navigate FDA and EMA pathways with confidence

How AI Is Reducing Drug Development Timelines From Years to Months
Today, artificial intelligence (AI) is changing this story. With the help of AI, scientists and companies are finding ways to shrink drug development timelines from years to months. Reshaping the pharmaceutical industry can accelerate drug development, improve efficiency, and potentially increase the success of projects.
The traditional path to bringing life-saving medicine to market is a marathon that often spans over a decade. This week in the Guardrail, we explore how artificial intelligence is shattering these timelines, transforming a process that once took years into one that takes mere months
Written by Michael Bronfman for Metis Consulting Services
December 29, 2025
Developing new medicines has long been one of the slowest processes in science. In the traditional system, creating a new drug from the first idea to a product patients can use often takes ten to fifteen years, costs billions of dollars, and succeeds less than one in ten times. This long and expensive process leaves many patients waiting while the disease continues to cause suffering.
Today, artificial intelligence (AI) is changing this story. With the help of AI, scientists and companies are finding ways to shrink drug development timelines from years to months. Reshaping the pharmaceutical industry can accelerate drug development, improve efficiency, and potentially increase the success of projects.
In this article, we explain how AI is speeding up drug development, which stages of the process are changing most, and what this means for patients, scientists, and the future of medicine.
The Drug Development Timeline:
Before we explore AI, it is essential to understand the historical pathway of drug development. The process has multiple stages:
Target Identification: a molecule or biological process that is modifiable to treat a disease is identified by researchers.
Drug Discovery: Scientists design or find chemical compounds to interact with the target.
Preclinical Testing: To assess safety and efficacy, compounds are evaluated in cell and animal models.
Clinical Trials: If a compound is promising, it proceeds to human trials in three phases to assess safety and efficacy.
Regulatory Approval: Health authorities, such as the EMA and the FDA, review all data before approving a drug.
Each step can take years, especially clinical trials. Even after all this work, most drug candidates fail before approval. The combined effect is slow progress for patients and high costs for companies.
AI is now being used to transform nearly every stage of this timeline, thereby accelerating drug development and making it more predictable.
How AI Speeds Up Drug Development
Target Identification in Months Instead of Years
Target identification was once a lengthy, manual process involving laboratory experiments and trial-and-error. AI now allows researchers to analyze millions of data points from genetics, proteomics, and clinical records in hours or days rather than years. Machine learning models can identify potential biological targets much more quickly¹.
These advanced algorithms process data far faster than humans can and find connections that might be invisible in traditional research. Scientists can then decide which targets are worth pursuing months earlier than before, reducing the earliest phase of drug discovery from years to months².
AI Accelerates Lead Optimization
Once researchers have a target, the next step is to find compounds that interact with that target effectively and safely. In the past, this involved testing thousands of molecules in the lab. Now, AI can simulate molecule interactions in a computer, significantly shrinking the time needed for lead optimization³.
AI models can predict how changes to a molecule’s structure will affect its performance. These predictions reduce the amount of physical laboratory work required and help scientists focus on the most promising candidates first³. This step, which once took several years, can now be completed in a handful of months in some cases¹.
Predicting Outcomes Before Lab Tests Begin
AI can also forecast how a potential drug might behave in real biological systems. This capability enables researchers to assess toxicity, absorption, metabolism, and possible side effects in advance².
For example, deep AI models can now simulate aspects of human biology that once required years of animal testing or early human trials². These predictions help researchers avoid investing time in compounds likely to fail later. When AI rules out unworkable options early, it saves years of work and millions of dollars³.
Generative AI Is Designing Drug Candidates
Generative AI is a subset of Artificial Intelligence designed to create new molecules. This technology can generate tens of thousands of potential drug structures within hours, narrowing them down to the most promising options⁴.
Some of these AI-designed molecules are entering clinical trials much faster than traditional drug candidates. In one example, an AI platform developed a candidate and reached preclinical testing in 13 to 18 months, rather than the typical 2.5 to 4 years⁴.
Improving Success Rates in Early Trials
Traditional methods often yield a high failure rate before human testing begins. However, AI-assisted drug candidates exhibit substantially higher success rates in early clinical phases than conventional compounds⁵.
Industry studies report that AI-discovered candidates achieve Phase I success rates of 80–90%, compared with the industry average of 40–65%¹. These rates mean fewer setbacks and less time.
Faster Clinical Trial Design and Enrollment
AI is transforming clinical trials, which are among the most protracted and most expensive phases of development. By analyzing patient data, AI can more quickly identify the most suitable participants for a study⁶, thereby accelerating enrollment and increasing the likelihood that trials will yield meaningful results.
Other AI tools monitor patient data in real time and predict how participants may respond⁶. These tools can help researchers quickly adjust trial protocols, reducing months or even years from the clinical trial timeline⁶.
Real-World Examples of AI Cutting Timelines
AI Platforms Reducing Drug Development to Months
Some companies are already using AI to compress timelines dramatically. For example, a biotechnology firm developed a system that could shorten the stages of small-molecule drug development from months to two weeks for certain tasks⁷. That same system is projected to save one to one-and-a-half years before clinical trials start⁷.
Collaborations Between AI Firms and Big Pharma
Major pharmaceutical companies are partnering with AI startups to accelerate drug design. One collaboration between a U.S. biotech and a global pharmaceutical firm uses AI to produce drug candidates in three to four weeks from design to lab testing⁸.
These partnerships demonstrate that well-established pharmaceutical companies are adopting AI technologies to remain competitive and bring therapies to patients more quickly.
Why This Matters for Patients and Society
Faster drug development enables life-changing therapies to reach patients sooner. For patients with rare diseases or conditions for which there are no effective treatments, time saved in development is time saved from suffering. It also means that health systems could respond more rapidly to emerging disease threats, such as outbreaks or rising rates of chronic illness.
Accelerated development may reduce costs. When early failure is avoided and fewer resources are spent on unpromising candidates, resources are freed for investment in further research and development. These cost savings may eventually lower prices for patients, although this effect may depend on regulation and market forces.
Finally, increased efficiency may encourage greater investment in areas once considered too risky or too slow, such as treatments for neurological diseases or complex cancers.
Challenges and Realities
While AI is transforming drug development, we must remain grounded in reality. AI does not eliminate the need for human creativity, rigorous scientific validation, safety testing, or regulatory review. Human oversight remains essential in laboratory work, clinical trials, and data interpretation.
The future will involve proper regulation of AI tools to ensure they are safe, ethical, and transparent. But even with these limitations, the transformation AI brings is real and growing⁶.
Artificial intelligence is reshaping drug development in profound ways. From speeding target identification to optimizing molecules in silico, designing novel compounds with generative algorithms, and improving clinical trial outcomes, AI is making drug discovery faster, more innovative, and more efficient.
Instead of taking ten to fifteen years, new medicines are developed in a few years or even months. AI is not replacing scientists. Instead, it is amplifying their abilities, allowing them to focus on high-impact decisions while machines handle routine, data-intensive tasks. This partnership promises a future where better medicines reach patients sooner, with greater success, and at lower cost.
The era of AI-powered drug development has begun, and it will transform how medicines are developed for decades to come.

AI Water Usage in Data Centers: How Machines Are Cooled and How Much Water They Use
For Metis Consulting Services
Written by Michael Bronfman
September 15, 2025
This week in The Guard Rail, Metis Consulting Services' thought leadership blog, we're taking a look at a hidden environmental cost of our digital lives. While the pharmaceutical industry meticulously manages every drop of liquid in manufacturing processes, another sector, the data center industry, is gulping down millions of gallons of water a day to keep our modern world digitally running. We'll explore how these massive server farms are cooled and why their water consumption is becoming a significant concern, creating a new kind of "liquid asset" problem that requires a creative and sustainable solution.
Water Management Reality
Modern life relies on powerful computer systems that store information, process data, and maintain digital services. These large computer facilities are called data centers. Every time someone uses a search engine, streams a video, or stores a photo online, data centers are at work behind the scenes. While most people consider the electricity required to keep these machines running, fewer people think about another resource that data centers consume: water.
Water is used mainly for cooling. Computers generate heat when they operate, and if they become too hot, they may stop working or fail completely. Cooling systems keep machines at the right temperature. In many cases, water plays a central role in this process. As the demand for computing continues to grow rapidly, the amount of water used by data centers is becoming a significant environmental concern.
This essay explains how water is used to cool machines, why water is chosen, how much water is consumed, and what can be done to reduce water use.
Why Cooling Is Needed
Computers generate heat because electrical energy is transformed into thermal energy as circuits work. The more powerful the computer, the more heat the data center releases. Thousands of servers operate simultaneously in a single building. Without cooling, the heat would build up and damage the equipment.
The cooling process maintains a stable temperature, protects equipment, and enables data centers to operate continuously around the clock. Cooling also affects efficiency. A data center that runs too hot requires emergency shutdowns, which wastes electricity and can interrupt services.
How Data Centers Are Cooled
There are various methods to cool data centers, but many of them involve the use of water.
Air Cooling
Some data centers use outside air to reduce heat. They blow cool air through server racks, pushing hot air out. This system works better in cooler climates, but it is less efficient in warm regions.
Chilled Water Cooling
Many data centers use chilled water systems. Large chillers cool water, and then cold water circulates through pipes to absorb heat from the servers. The warmed water goes back to the chillers, where it is cooled again..
Cooling Towers
Cooling towers release heat from water by allowing it to evaporate. Water is sprayed into the air, and as some of it evaporates, the remaining water cools. This cooled water is reused again in the system.
Direct Liquid Cooling
Some advanced systems pump water or special liquids directly to the computer chips. This method reduces the need for massive air systems and can be more efficient, but it still requires a supply of water.
Why Water Is Used
Water is an effective cooling material because it has a high heat capacity. This means it can absorb and carry away large amounts of heat. Water is also widely available and cheaper than many alternatives.
However, water use comes with tradeoffs. Data centers are often located in areas where electricity is cheap, but those same areas may face water shortages. This creates tension between the need for digital infrastructure and the need for water in communities, farming, and natural ecosystems.
Does AI Waste Water? How Much Water Is Used?
The amount of water used by data centers is substantial, but it can vary depending on the cooling system and the data center's location.
On average, a typical data center may use 300,000 to 500,000 gallons of water per day.
A large data center can use 1 to 5 million gallons of water per day, which is equal to the daily use of a small city.
In the United States, data centers are estimated to use about 1.7 billion liters of water per day.
One way experts measure water use is through the Water Usage Effectiveness (WUE) metric. This ratio compares the total water consumed to the amount of computer power delivered. A lower WUE means the data center is more efficient.
Examples from Major Companies
Several large technology companies own and operate massive data centers. Their water use has drawn attention from local governments and communities.
Google
Google has acknowledged that some of its data centers consume millions of gallons of water daily. In some cases, the company has used municipal drinking water supplies, which created tension with nearby residents.
Microsoft
Microsoft has pledged to reduce water use by developing liquid cooling systems and by recycling wastewater. However, reports show that its total water consumption rose by more than one-third in a single year because of new data center construction.
Meta (Facebook)
Meta also relies on water cooling for its servers. In some regions, its water use has sparked debates over the effect on local rivers and aquifers.
These examples show that as demand for digital services grows, water use also increases.
AI Environmental Impact
The environmental impact of water use in data centers is complex.
Local Water Shortages
In regions where water is already scarce, data center operations can put a strain on local water supplies. This may affect residents, agriculture, and wildlife.
Energy and Water Link
Water is often tied to energy use. Cooling towers, pumps, and chillers all require electricity to operate. Using more water can also mean using more power.
Wastewater
Water that passes through cooling systems may contain chemicals to prevent corrosion or bacterial growth. If not managed properly, this wastewater can harm ecosystems.
Water Scarcity Concerns
Water scarcity is becoming more severe in many parts of the world. Climate change, population growth, and farming irrigation demands all add stress to freshwater supplies. In this context, the expansion of water-intensive data centers raises difficult questions.
Should clean drinking water be used to cool servers? Can recycled or non-potable water be used as an alternative? What responsibility should companies have to the communities where they operate?
Alternatives to Heavy Water Use
There are several strategies to reduce water consumption in data centers:
Air Cooling in Cool Climates
In northern regions, outside air can be used for cooling for most of the year. This reduces the need for water-based systems.
Recycled or Non-Potable Water
Some companies are beginning to use treated wastewater from cities as an alternative to drinking water. This helps protect clean supplies.
Direct Liquid Cooling with Reuse
Advanced systems that bring cooling liquid directly to computer chips can reuse the same liquid in a closed loop, which reduces evaporation losses.
Renewable Energy and Smart Design
Placing data centers in regions with access to renewable energy and water resources can help mitigate the stress on local communities.
Community Reactions
Local communities have expressed concerns about the water use of data centers. In some towns, residents have protested new construction projects because of the potential drain on water supplies. In other cases, governments have delayed or blocked new data centers until water use agreements are reached.
This tension highlights the importance of transparency. People want to know how much water companies are using and how that use will affect their lives. Without clear communication, mistrust grows.
Balancing Technology and Sustainability
Modern society depends on digital services. However, those services have hidden costs in both energy and water. Balancing the benefits of technology with the need for environmental sustainability is one of the greatest challenges of the coming decades.
Data centers are not the only industries that use large amounts of water; however, they are growing rapidly, and the demand for their services is not slowing down. Companies, governments, and communities must work together to find solutions that allow digital progress without harming the environment.
Water plays a central role in cooling the machines that power the digital world. From search engines to online storage, every service depends on data centers, and those centers often depend on water. A single facility can consume as much water as a small city. This use affects local communities, ecosystems, and future water supplies.
At the same time, there are ways to reduce this impact. Using recycled water, enhancing cooling technology, and locating centers in cooler regions can reduce water demand. Greater transparency and responsibility from companies are also important.
The challenge is clear: we need powerful computing, and also clean water. Finding the right balance will shape not only the future of technology but also the health of communities and the environment.

The Power of AI
Large language models (LLMs), like Gemini from Google, are emerging as powerful tools, streamlining the document creation process and allowing human expertise to shine even brighter.
This Week, the Guard Rail is thrilled to have our first-ever guest blogger. Metis' COO, Dr. Olivia Fletcher, has written a fascinating article looking deeper into AI and its use as a tool, not a replacement for human input and documentation. This comes on the heels of an exciting week at the RIC(REMS Industry Consortium) annual meeting, where our CEO, Michelleanne Bradley, presented and was on a panel discussing the intricacies of ethics and AI in the Pharmaceutical and Medical Device industries. Enjoy!
The Power of AI: How Large Language Models Are Transforming Document Creation
by Dr. Olivia Fletcher
As the COO of Metis Consulting Services, navigating a world of information and crafting clear, concise documents is essential. Traditionally, this has meant dedicating significant time to research, writing, and editing. However, the landscape is shifting. Large language models (LLMs), like Gemini from Google, are emerging as powerful tools, streamlining the document creation process and allowing human expertise to shine even brighter.
Boosting Efficiency: From Blank Page to First Draft Faster
I have ADHD, and one of my primary executive dysfunctions is task initiation. This can mean that just typing that first word is a gigantic hurdle for me. LLMs can alleviate this initial hurdle by generating drafts based on specific prompts and topics thereby providing a starting point. This can be particularly helpful for:
Emails and Reports: Quickly summarizing key points from complex data sets or research papers allows you to focus on crafting a compelling narrative. LLMs are particularly good at recognizing patterns in data.
Blog Posts and Articles: LLMs can provide a well-structured foundation, outlining the main points and even suggesting relevant sources.
This doesn't eliminate the human touch; it simply removes the initial heavy lifting.
Enhancing Content: Fact-Checking, Research, and Tone
Accuracy and credibility are paramount in any professional setting. LLMs can assist in:
Fact-checking: By integrating with vast knowledge bases, we can verify the accuracy of information and provide citations. However, we are all aware of the case of the attorney who submitted a brief in court crafted by an LLM. That brief, full of fake cases the LLM had invented for the document, is an example of the danger of just letting an LLM run away with the work. The product of an LLM still needs human verification.
Research: LLMs can efficiently scan through mountains of data and present relevant sources, saving you valuable time.
Maintaining Tone: Whether it's a formal report or a casual blog post, we can tailor the writing style to match the intended audience.
Human Expertise: Where LLMs Fall Short and We Excel
While LLMs offer significant advantages, it's crucial to remember that they are still under development. Here's where human expertise remains irreplaceable:
Critical Thinking and Analysis: LLMs can synthesize information, but they cannot replace the ability to critically analyze data, draw conclusions, and identify the underlying significance.
Creativity and Originality: Human ingenuity in crafting unique arguments, presenting information in innovative ways, and weaving a narrative is unparalleled.
Understanding Nuance and Context: LLMs may struggle with the subtle nuances of language and the importance of context in specific situations.
The Future of Document Creation: A Collaborative Approach
The ideal scenario involves a powerful synergy between LLMs and human expertise. Imagine a world where:
LLMs handle the initial groundwork: Drafting emails, reports, and even initial outlines of more complex documents.
Humans take the reins: Editing, refining the content, injecting critical thinking, and ensuring the final product aligns perfectly with the intended purpose and audience.
This collaborative approach allows professionals to:
Focus on higher-level tasks: Freeing up valuable time for strategic thinking, client interaction, and core business functions.
Produce higher quality content: The combination of LLM efficiency and human expertise produces well-structured, informative, and impactful documents.
In Conclusion: LLMs are not here to replace human writers; they are here to empower them. By embracing and utilizing this new technology strategically, professionals like myself can work smarter, not harder, and achieve even greater results.
