AI Position of the Job
AI Impact on this job
You remain minimally exposed to AI in your role, the tool handles technical tasks without replacing methodological and ethical judgment. The core value remains human, notably study management, trade-offs and the final validation of results.
Your function remains minimally exposed to AI, which automates technical tasks while leaving methodological and ethical decisions to you.
What will change
- Verification of studies' compliance with ethical and legal standards, AI automatically detects formal discrepancies and compares documents to reference frameworks using automated text processing.
- Analysis of health data to support reimbursement decisions, AI aggregates, cleans, and detects patterns in large datasets, making standardized statistical signals actionable.
- Execution of calculations and simulations for cost-effectiveness studies, AI automates modeling routines and repetitive simulations, accelerating the production of technical results.
What AI will improve
- Document synthesis and literature review, AI produces structured summaries and information extractions that you validate and contextualize for the scientific argumentation.
- Scenario exploration and visualization, AI generates visualizations and interactive simulations that facilitate your methodological choices and communication with stakeholders.
- Preparation of dossiers for authorities and payers, AI helps format, draft, and generate checklists, which reduces operational workload while leaving strategic argumentation to you.
