A new Clinical Research Organization (CRO) is reportedly entering the market with a focus on Agentic AI.

The Story
This indicates a move towards autonomous AI systems in clinical development.
Why It Matters
"Agentic AI" sounds like science fiction, but it means AI making decisions. For a mid-sized European CRO, this isn't about buying a magic box. It's about designing a governed framework for AI to automate complex processes, like trial design or patient recruitment, without sending your data to the US. It's about managing the 'AI Act' risk, not avoiding it.
What To Do About It
I can help your team assess where Agentic AI principles can safely automate workflows within your existing Microsoft 365, ensuring GDPR compliance and a clear path to EU AI Act readiness.
