    Miscellaneous

    AAMI, in collaboration with the British Standards Institution, is launching an effort to develop standards for artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in medical technologies. In May of this year, AAMI published a whitepaper discussing the need for new standards and regulator initiatives to promote the safety, effectiveness, and availability of AI and ML in healthcare. (https://www.aami.org/detail-pages/press-release/aami-bsi-position-paper-sets-machine-learning-agenda)

    There were seven recommendations made in the whitepaper. One of the most urgent was for guidance on applying ISO 14971, Medical Devices—Application of Risk Management to Medical Devices, when evaluating medical technology utilizing AI and, in particular, ML. AAMI and BSI have established a partnership to jointly develop a document which provides this guidance, as well as other needed AI standards identified in the whitepaper.

    As a result of this initial work, AAMI is creating a new consensus body, tentatively call the AAMI Artificial Intelligence Committee (AAMI AI) to develop this work. Interested parties, including representatives of clinical practices, academia, regulatory authorities, and industry should contact standards@aami.org for more information about the project or participation on the committee.
