Why AI Won’t Take Your Job - But Someone Using AI Might, With Subbu Viswanathan

AI is here - and it’s already changing the way we think about compliance, quality, and productivity in biotech.

In today's episode Hemish was joined by Subbu Viswanathan, Head of Compliance at DashBio.

Subbu because is one of the few quality leaders who has been building and integrating AI into quality systems for over a decade – long before it was mainstream. And he’s now leading quality and compliance at a tech-driven CRO, where speed and automation are core to the model.

Subbu’s journey spans shop floor experience, software development, cloud QMS implementation, startup failures, AI audit tools, and now redefining what a modern bioanalytical CRO can be.

He talks about the following:

• What quality looks like when you build a company from scratch with AI and automation at the core.

• How to move fast without breaking compliance.

• What GLP and GCP readiness really involves in a fast-paced environment.

• How to use LLMs and automation to handle audit questionnaires and generate CAPAs.

• Why most GenAI pilots are failing in biotech.

• How to think clearly about the noise vs. signal when it comes to AI tools.

• Why quality leaders need to be AI-literate to stay relevant.

• The slow death of traditional entry-level QA jobs – and what might replace them.

• Why AI won’t take your job – but someone using AI better than you will.

• What a good quality mindset looks like in the age of digital transformation

Subbu is a brilliant thinker who brings clarity, experience, and grounded insight to an often confusing topic.

Thank you Subbu for sharing your incredible journey.

Hope everyone enjoys the show!
