📰 AI NEWS RECAP

Moderna Transforms Biotech with OpenAI’s ChatGPT

Every company is racing to unlock practical use cases for Generative AI.

But Moderna stands out as a success story of what is possible at the enterprise level by leveraging 750 GPTs from OpenAI.

✅ Comprehensive AI Deployment

Moderna has implemented ChatGPT across all departments, achieving unprecedented integration levels that redefine enterprise efficiency and decision-making processes.

✅ Practical AI Use Cases

From streamlining research data analysis with the Dose ID pilot to enhancing legal and contractual workflows, Moderna’s AI-driven initiatives showcase practical, impactful use cases of generative AI.

✅ Scalable Impact

Moderna demonstrates how a leaner workforce can still lead in innovation and productivity, potentially launching up to 15 new mRNA treatments in the next five years.

My Take

The GPTs on OpenAI’s GPT store have caused quite a stir.

On the one hand many expect them to perform as AI agents.

While many hoped GPTs would lead to riches akin to App Millionaires when the Apple Store first launched.

However, many GPTs are seen as more or less vaporware.

Albeit, there are plenty of good ones out there.

Moderna's success with GPTs raises the bar for AI in the workplace.

Demonstrating the transformative potential of Generative AI in enhancing productivity and innovation at scale.

How will this influence other companies within and beyond pharma?

Are we witnessing a new norm in business operations where AI becomes as ubiquitous as the computer?
