ISPE Pharma 4.0 & Biopharma Conference with QFINITY | December 10-11, 2026
We are pleased to be part of the 2026 ISPE Pharma 4.0 & Biopharma Conference!
The conference takes place on 10-11 December 2026 in Berlin – a central European meeting point for the digital transformation of the pharmaceutical industry. You can also attend virtually.
QFINITY on stage
In his talk, Oliver Herrmann shows how AI reshapes Quality Assurance in regulated environments – and why human oversight must be a designed structural element, not an end-of-line check.
Human Oversight by Design: Progressive QA for AI-Enabled GxP Systems
Oliver Herrmann (QFINITY)
AI does not just add tools to GxP. It changes how computerized systems behave. Execution moves from operation to supervision. Deterministic logic gives way to probabilistic output. This does not lower the demand for Quality Assurance. It raises it.
Quality no longer comes from validating a system in isolation. It emerges from the interaction of business processes, data, software, interfaces and decision structures. QA stops being a downstream control and becomes the architect of the landscape it once only inspected.
The GAMP AI Guide draws the distinction that carries this shift: the AI subsystem is not the computerized system, and the model is a component. What you validate is the system, against its intended use – not the model in the abstract. Human oversight is where this becomes concrete. Treated as a check at the end of the line, it controls nothing; designed into the architecture, it holds. Oversight is not a stage you add once the system runs – it is a property you build before it does.
AI runs on statistical inference. It produces plausibility, not understanding. Between a plausible output and a correct decision sits a structural gap. It does not close by trusting the model – it closes by design. Progressive QA is the answer to rising speed and complexity, managing the process, data and system layers at once. The core message: capability is not reliability – and the work of QA is to make that difference visible before the system does.

Official GAMP 5 Basic Principles Training with QFINITY | October 22-23, 2026
Frank Henrichmann (QFINITY) will lead the official two-day GAMP 5 Basic Principles training in person at the ISPE Annual Meeting 2026 in National Harbor (Washington, D.C.) – a practical introduction to risk-based compliance for computerized systems based on the GAMP 5 Guide (Second Edition). October 22-23, 2026, Gaylord National Resort, National Harbor (Washington, D.C.), USA.
The official ISPE training course “Basic Principles of Computerized Systems Compliance” teaches the internationally recognized methods for ensuring that computerized systems in the pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical device industries comply with regulatory requirements and are “fit for intended use” – directly from the GAMP 5 Guide, Second Edition.

ISPE AI in Life Sciences Summit with QFINITY | June 22-23, 2026
QFINITY will be at the ISPE AI in Life Sciences Summit 2026 in Boston. The event takes place June 22-23 and brings together international experts in life sciences, validation, compliance, and digital innovation. The program focuses on current developments in the use of artificial intelligence in GxP-regulated environments.
Frank Henrichmann, Senior Executive Consultant at QFINITY, plays a special role: he is a member of the summit’s Program Committee and serves as the Track Lead for the “Validation & GAMP Track.” In this role, he is responsible for a topic area that takes a practical approach to validating AI-enabled computerized systems.
The Validation & GAMP Track is based on the principles of the ISPE GAMP Framework and the GAMP AI Guide. It also addresses key issues currently facing companies: from risk assessment, lifecycle management, and model monitoring to inspection readiness and the compliant integration of AI into regulated processes.
We are pleased to be part of this event and to play an active role in advancing practical, regulatory-compliant approaches to using AI in the life sciences industry.
