Generative AI in the life sciences industry

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is currently transforming the life sciences industry not only technologically, but also organisationally and culturally. Research and development are being accelerated, personalised medicine is becoming accessible to a larger target group, and productivity is increasing significantly in many areas. Organisations are therefore faced with the task of adapting structures, expanding skills and providing targeted further training for employees.

In the English-language white paper "GenAI Unleashed – Catalysing Innovation in the Life Sciences Industry", we show how companies can secure competitive advantages. Practical examples and current market data provide insights into the state of AI implementation, the transformation of organisations, and the requirements for future-proof teams.

The actual impact of GenAI in the life sciences goes far beyond new tools or changed job profiles and tasks. It is about fundamentally realigning business models and finding innovative ways to increase competitiveness and profitability.

Three insights from the white paper for you in advance:

New roles are shaping the industry

Around 92 per cent of the GenAI functions sought already relate to management tasks. These are supplemented by specialised tasks such as tool development (66 per cent) and algorithm work (27 per cent).
Further training becomes an important factor

AI skills are becoming a basic qualification for all departments. KPMG's M-Skill Framework describes how GenAI is shifting the skill sets away from T-shaped and π-shaped profiles towards a new model in which GenAI engineering and operating are key skills for future-proof teams.
Organisations are becoming more agile

A current example of more agile structures in companies that combine human and artificial intelligence can be found at IBM. In 2025 alone, the company has so far replaced around 200 HR roles with AI agents in order to reorganise personnel and prioritise positions that require human skills such as creativity, strategic planning and management.
