NEW DELHI – Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly gaining a foothold in India's health care landscape, with investors pouring money into the new technology, companies developing products and regulators looking to come up with much-needed rules.
The FDA's regulation of artificial intelligence (AI) is divided by product center for reasons that are obvious, but precisely what that regulation will look like is anything but. As the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) goes through the comment period for its discussion draft for AI, other nations are starting their own efforts in this space. The American agency's efforts may foreshadow the approaches employed in other nations.
While regulatory science can lag behind technology advances, the FDA has for the past few years been exploring ways to harness the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to streamline drug development and the approval process.
Recognizing that the age of artificial intelligence (AI) has arrived and, with it, the potential to transform everything from health care to transportation and manufacturing, U.S. President Donald Trump issued an executive order earlier this year that launched the American AI Initiative.
BEIJING – With home-grown artificial intelligence (AI) medical devices under priority review, mainland China is quickly putting together a regulatory framework to more rapidly tap into the power of AI to develop devices and drugs.
HONG KONG – With an aging population and a shortage of doctors, Japan is now working to develop artificial intelligence (AI)-based medicine faster than any other country in Asia.
PERTH, Australia – It's likely that Australia will not draft separate guidance or regulations for software applications that use artificial intelligence or machine learning (AI/ML) for drug development or medical devices.
HONG KONG – South Korea is actively working to expand its artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities in health care, but outdated regulations and concerns over privacy and profit sharing are proving to be significant stumbling blocks.
The convergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and the health care sector was inevitable. The advent of machine-learning and deep-learning technologies capable of analyzing and synthesizing massive amounts of data with algorithms designed to mimic human-level decision-making seems a natural fit for an industry in dire need of greater efficiency.
As a cautious swimmer slips slowly into the cool waters of a giant swimming pool so do biopharma executives: They tread into the murky abyss known as artificial intelligence (AI).
