Former FDA Regulator & Pharma AI Exec REVEALS: "Patients Trust AI More Than Doctors"

Episode notes

Healthcare AI isn't just moving fast. It's moving into areas where a single mistake can cost lives. Most industries can survive an AI "oops" moment. Healthcare can't. In this episode of The AI CEO Podcast, Seema Alexander sits down with Kausar Riaz Ahmed - healthcare AI leader at AstraZeneca and former FDA regulatory expert - to unpack the future of generative AI in medicine, drug development, patient care, and healthcare innovation. At the time of this recording, Kausar was serving as Director of Generative AI for Medical Engagement at Pfizer and has since been promoted to Senior Director, Head of AI Precision Oncology at AstraZeneca. With nearly a decade at the FDA and leadership experience across some of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies, Kausar brings a perspective very few people in the world have: How do you innovate aggressively… while protecting patient safety? This conversation goes deep into the real future of healthcare AI beyond the hype.
