Regulation of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare

The podcast discusses the contrasting regulatory approaches to artificial intelligence (AI) between Europe and the United States, highlighting the need for appropriate standards. While some regulation is deemed essential for ensuring patient safety and the efficacy of medical devices, the balance of over-regulation versus under-regulation remains a challenge. Europe tends to adopt a more conservative stance, emphasizing best practice standards that account for diverse populations, unlike the more entrepreneurial and less centralized American approach. This divergence in regulatory strategies leads to complexities in navigating the approval process for AI technologies in medicine.
