In certain domains, there’s little tolerance for iteration, especially in something like life sciences, when the AI application is facilitating new treatments to markets or diagnosing diseases. Even slightly inaccurate analyses and assumptions early on can create sizable downstream drift in ways that can be concerning.In analyzing dozens of AI PoCs that sailed on through to full production use — or didn’t — six common pitfalls emerge.
