Title: Unlocking Efficiency, Consistency, and Insight: Potential Use Cases for Artificial Intelligence in Quality Assurance
Abstract:
As regulated manufacturing operations embrace modern digital tools and advanced analytics, Quality Assurance (QA) faces mounting pressure to manage greater complexity and faster decision cycles. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers powerful tools to meet these challenges by enhancing efficiency, consistency, and insight across the quality landscape.
This collaborative discussion explores practical use cases where AI tools can be deployed to deliver value in QA. By connecting these applications under the broader framework of Quality 4.0, this session will illustrate how AI can shift QA from a reactive, compliance-focused role to a proactive, data-informed partner in manufacturing excellence.
Attendees will have the opportunity to share how AI tools may be gaining traction within their own QA organizations to provide real-world examples that may resonate with the entire group.
