QA evolves from a pure control function into an architect of controlled, reliable digital system landscapes. Responsible AI is not an add-on: it must be embedded into system architecture &ndash; including intended use, human oversight, and risk-based controls across the full lifecycle.<\/p>\n<h3>AI-Enabled Computerized System Validation<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Frank Henrichmann<\/strong> (QFINITY)<\/p>\n<p>How can AI technologies &ndash; particularly large language models, machine-learning-driven analytics, and generative AI &ndash; be integrated into the end-to-end lifecycle of <a href=\"https:\/\/q-finity.de\/en\/service-areas\/validation-of-computerized-systems\/\">computerized system validation (CSV)<\/a>, aligned with <a href=\"https:\/\/q-finity.de\/en\/glossar\/gamp-5-begriff\/\" target=\"_self\" title=\"GAMP 5 - &quot;A Risk-Based Approach to Compliant GxP Computerized Systems&quot; - is ISPE's industry guide to the validation of computerized systems: published in 2008, and available since 2022 in the Second Edition, which strengthens critical thinking and scaled evidence.

Another talk in Washington, coming from cybersecurity, reached the same conclusion. Agentic systems do not merely return answers, they take actions.
