Adults & Professionals · Careers & Pathways · ~17 min read
The premise
Pharmacovigilance analysts use NLP to mine FAERS, EudraVigilance, social media, and the literature for emerging drug safety signals. The model surfaces; the analyst confirms.
What AI does well here
- Extract structured adverse events from unstructured case reports
- Detect emerging signals across millions of social media posts
- Triage individual case safety reports by severity
What AI cannot do
- Distinguish reporting-bias spikes from real safety signals
- Replace medical judgment on causality assessment
- Substitute for the qualified person responsible for pharmacovigilance
