The world of artificial intelligence (AI) continues to evolve at a rapid pace, with significant developments in various industries. In this news brief, we'll explore the latest advancements in AI, from its application in regulatory decision-making to its impact on the tech industry.
FDA Issues Draft Guidance on AI Use in Regulatory Decision-Making
The U.S. FDA has issued a draft guidance on the use of AI to support regulatory decision-making for drug and biological products. The guidance proposes a risk-based credibility assessment framework for AI technologies, data used to train them, and governance around the technologies. This framework aims to ensure that AI models used to support regulatory decision-making are sufficiently credible for their context of use.
The FDA recognizes the potential of AI to accelerate drug development and enhance patient care. However, it also acknowledges the challenges posed by AI, including bias, data quality, and model complexity. The draft guidance addresses these concerns and provides recommendations for sponsors to use AI for regulatory decision-making.
Apple Plans AI Feature Rollout in China
Apple is planning to roll out its AI feature in China by May, despite regulatory challenges. The company has partnered with Chinese companies Baidu and Alibaba to include artificial intelligence features in iPhones in China. However, regulatory clearance is a major obstacle, as China's internet regulator requires official certification of AI goods before they can be sold.
Apple is collaborating with Alibaba to create an on-device artificial intelligence system for Macs, iPads, and iPhones sold in China, ensuring regulatory compliance. Baidu will provide further AI capabilities, while Alibaba's software will regulate AI-generated content to fit local criteria.
Court Reverses Itself in AI Training Data Case
In an unexpected development, the judge in Thomson Reuters v. Ross Intelligence reversed much of its earlier ruling on the use of copyrighted material to train an artificial intelligence (AI) model. The case has significant implications for the use of copyrighted materials in AI training data.
How to Get a New Headshot Using AI
A new AI tool, HeadshotPro, allows users to generate a new headshot or set of professional images using AI. The tool uses a user's uploaded photos to create a new image that looks like them. While the results can be impressive, users should be aware of the potential limitations and biases of AI-generated images.
