Novo Nordisk (NVO) said Tuesday it has formed a strategic partnership with Microsoft (MSFT)-backed OpenAI to deploy advanced AI across its operations, aiming to accelerate drug discovery and improve efficiency from research through commercialization.
The partnership will use AI to analyze complex data, identify promising drug candidates, and speed development timelines, while maintaining strict data governance and human oversight to ensure ethical and compliant use.
Novo Nordisk said the initiative includes upskilling its workforce and expanding AI across operations, with pilot programs in key units and full integration expected by the end of 2026.
Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed, it added.
