⚠️ AI & drug safety: FDA explores OpenAI’s cderGPT to accelerate reviews 🤖💊
High-level OpenAI staff have met with the FDA—and even Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency”—to discuss a pilot called cderGPT aimed at speeding up the Center for Drug Evaluation’s review process.
🧑⚕️ Led by FDA’s first AI officer Jeremy Walsh
📈 First AI-assisted scientific review already completed
🤝 Involves HHS AI liaison Peter Bowman-Davis
📋 No formal contract yet—still in exploratory talks
⚠️ Risks include overreliance on AI, hallucinations in key safety data
Balancing faster approvals with patient safety demands clear guardrails. How should regulators harness AI without cutting corners?
