FDA Regulation of Artificial Intelligence/ Machine Learning Software following the new draft Guidance

Overview:

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are fast becoming game-changers in the medical field. They offer ways to diagnose and treat illnesses more effectively and efficiently. Yet, there's a challenge: The FDA has rules for medical software, but AI/ML doesn't fit neatly into them. Here's why: the FDA usually approves a final, tested version of software. But the whole idea behind AI/ML is that it keeps learning and changing after it's released. If it changes too much, technically, it might need new FDA approval. Imagine having to get that every time your AI learns something new! It's just not practical.

To address this, the FDA released a new draft guidance in April 2023. This guide aims to clarify how AI/ML can fit into the approval process. In this webinar, we'll break down this new guidance. We'll explain the basics of AI/ML, why the old rules don't quite work, and what the new guidelines say.

This isn't a technical webinar. Instead, it's about understanding the new rules and how they affect the medical field.

Plus, attendees will get a handy checklist and outline to keep track of the main points. Join us to get a clear view of where AI/ML stands in the eyes of the FDA!

Attendees will receive a comprehensive outline and checklist to help navigate the complex regulatory landscape.
