For anyone trying to deploy AI in GMP manufacturing, that is not a technical problem. It is the problem. Steffen Kreye has seen it from both sides. As former upstream development lead at Bayer and now Professor of Industrial Biotechnology at Berliner Hochschule für Technik, he brings an unusuall...
