The artificial intelligence (AI) space doesn’t exactly lack for stakeholders, but the roster of stakeholders in the U.S. is poised to grow by hundreds of millions, according to Laura Adams, senior advisor at the U.S. National Academy of Medicine.

In the following years, 2023 may come to be seen in medical device circles as the year of artificial intelligence (AI), but that doesn’t mean that 2023 will be seen as the year of regulatory clarity for AI.

Companies developing Artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled solutions have agreed to work with governments to test models both pre- and post-deployment, in a bid to manage the risks around security, safety and societal harms. The landmark agreement was reached at the first AI Safety Summit, held at Bletchley Park, in the U.K.

As a follow-up to the Biden administration’s executive order for artificial intelligence (AI), the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has promulgated a memorandum directing federal government agency use of AI.

The U.K. Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has converted its regulatory sandbox for artificial intelligence (AI) into a full-fledged program dubbed the AI-Airlock, described as a regulatory-monitored virtual area in which industry can “generate robust evidence for their advanced technologies.” MHRA said it is focused on ensuring that AI products are available in the U.K. “before they are available anywhere else in the world,” a sign that national economic competitiveness is fostering a regulatory willingness to deal with uncertainty about this class of products.

The U.K. government has launched a £100 million (US$122 million) fund that will accelerate the development of artificial intelligence (AI) tools to help tackle some of the biggest challenges in health care.
