The first of them is the support of AI in the life cycle of a medicine. In this direction, both organizations point out that work has already begun through a public consultation that is open until the end of the year. In fact, they have confirmed that, by 2024, preparations will begin to support the implementation of AI law within the European Union. This work is led by a group from the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (Chmp).

The second point is aimed at facilitating the development of a collaboration network that keeps the sector alert to new trends reaching the market. For this reason, the EMA has planned to create a special area of ​​interest on AI, which will result in the creation of a forum that will seek to facilitate the exchange of knowledge between different actors related to health.

Finally, the plan highlights the need to experiment with new materials to ensure the acquisition of new knowledge , through cycles that will last approximately six months. After a first definition process, which will establish the main frameworks to be deployed, the different priorities will be aligned in a series of general frameworks and it will be decided which specific technical tools to adopt.
