The AI Act: What It Means for Pharmacovigilance
Description
In this 1st episode of The Pharmacovigilance Podcast, we examine the groundbreaking AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/ 1689), a European Union regulation designed to establish a comprehensive framework for the governance of AI systems.
The AI Act categorizes AI systems into two key groups: high-risk systems and general-purpose AI models. We’ll discuss how these categories are defined and explore the stringent requirements imposed on high-risk AI systems, such as those used in healthcare, including pharmacovigilance processes.
We’ll also examine the special rules for general-purpose AI models, subject to transparency and accountability requirements. Focusing on managing systemic risks, these rules seek to ensure that AI development aligns with fundamental EU values, including privacy and human rights.
