Everyone is talking about AI in statistical programming, but most don’t truly understand where it helps, where it hurts, and what it takes to use it without eroding your skills or your data integrity. In this on-demand webinar, Atorus™ Senior Trainer Frank Menius makes the skeptic’s case for treating AI as a tool, not a replacement.
Frank presented this session as part of PHUSE Webinar Wednesday, sharing the same talk that earned Best in Connect at PHUSE US Connect 2026. Drawing on years of clinical R programming experience, he cuts through the hype and shows programmers how to get real value from AI while keeping compliance and quality intact.
In this session, Frank walks through:
- What AI is, and what it is not
- Where AI genuinely helps clinical programmers, from SAS® to R translation to documentation and unit testing
- Four practical tips for using AI safely in a regulated environment
- Why validating every output protects your data and your craft
For a written companion to the talk, read Frank’s blog on using AI for statistical programming.
Take an honest look at what responsible AI use in statistical programming really requires.
