Current challenges and the way forwards for regulatory databases of artificial intelligence as a medical device.

Abstract

Effective regulatory oversight is a key step in ensuring that artificial intelligence as a medical device (AIaMD) is safe in real-world clinical settings. In this Perspective, we provide insights from our experience working with international regulatory databases, informed by our recent research and the expertise of the multidisciplinary authorship team. We highlight four key challenges, discuss attempts to circumvent these limitations, and highlight emerging initiatives. Nevertheless, the under
