The ºÚÁÏÍø® (ºÚÁÏÍø®) presented Nov. 20-21 at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Digital Health Advisory Committee (DHAC) “Total Product Lifecycle Considerations for Generative AI-Enabled Devices.” Bernardo Bizzo, MD, PhD, ºÚÁÏÍø Data Science Institute® Associate Chief Science Officer, represented the College at the meeting.
The meeting focused on novel oversight challenges and opportunities specific to FDA-regulated generative artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled devices. Per FDA’s , generative AI emulates the structure and characteristics of input data in order to generate derived synthetic content, such as images, videos, audio, text and other digital content; this typically is done by approximating the statistical distribution of the input data.
Dr. Bizzo provided overviews of the ºÚÁÏÍø Recognized Center for Healthcare-AI () quality assurance program, including the recently announced Assess-AI registry that provides radiology facilities with analytics on clinical AI performance over time as compared to national benchmarks. He discussed how ºÚÁÏÍø DSI programs and similar initiatives could be leveraged to help ensure the safety, effectiveness, and quality uses of generative AI-enabled devices.
