In this episode of Eye on AI, Craig Smith sits down with Brice Challamel, Head of AI Products and Innovation at Moderna, to explore how one of the world's leading biotech companies is embedding artificial intelligence across every layer of its business—from drug discovery to regulatory approval.

Brice breaks down how Moderna treats AI not just as a tool, but as a utility—much like electricity or the internet—designed to empower every employee and drive innovation at scale. With over 1,800 GPTs in production and thousands of AI solutions running on internal platforms like Compute and MChat, Moderna is redefining what it means to be an AI-native company.

  • How Moderna operationalizes AI at scale

  • GenAI as the new interface for machine learning

  • AI's role in speeding up drug approvals and clinical trials

  • The future of personalized cancer treatment (INT)
