Artificial Intelligence: A Regulatory Perspective

When:  Nov 3, 2021 from 10:00 to 11:00 (ET)

Regulations struggle to keep up with rapidly evolving AI-driven solutions in the healthcare field. Characteristics and applications of AI are raising ethical and technological challenges that extend beyond current medical software regulatory framework.

Artificial Intelligence: A Regulatory Perspective will address questions such as:

  • What characteristics make AI so challenging?
  • How have commercialized solutions changed to address challenges with AI?
  • What are the implications of the EU MDR?
  • What can we expect from the future?

This live webcast will clarify the terminology and concepts under the umbrella term Artificial Intelligence and how it differs from standard software. Speakers will provide an overview of the regulatory framework on the EU market and analyze current regulatory requirements and limitations under the MDR using real examples of commercialized solutions. Finally, the program will explore the projection of AI and the challenges regulations will face in the near future.
