Amid rising levels of artificial intelligence (AI) use and application, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has issued a draft paper outlining its view on the use of AI and machine learning (ML) in various stages of a medicine’s life cycle.
The paper, a part of a joint Human Medicines Agency (HMA)-EMA initiative to develop data-driven regulation, highlights the promise that AI/ML capabilities can bring to all steps of a medicine’s life cycle but warns of measures that should be taken by companies to ensure its legal and ethical use.
