STAT+: U.K. unveils recommendations for regulating AI in medicine
LONDON — A U.K. commission on Thursday unveiled its recommendations for how the country should regulate artificial intelligence in medicine, as health authorities globally try to determine how to continuously review ever-changing products after they have been authorized instead of simply clearing them once for the market.
