FDA Joins Other Regulators in Focus on AI and Machine Learning

The Food and Drug Administration recently sought comments on the role of transparency for artificial intelligence and machine learning-enabled medical devices. The FDA invited comments in follow up to a recent workshop on the topic. The workshop was part of a series of efforts the FDA has had in this space. These include its Digital Health Center of Excellence and a five-part Action Plan for AI and machine-learning enabled medical devices. As part of the action plan, the FDA indicated it wants to issue guidance on software learning over time and help the industry be "patient-centered."
