Artificial intelligence and post-market surveillance
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a force that is both feared and revered for promising revolutionary improvements in many fields. While tools like ChatGPT may create an impression of AI being easy to use, such wide AI applications are prone to hallucinations, or misleading information, and therefore can be dangerous in the context of post-market surveillance (PMS). The more accurate narrow AI tools for PMS do not yet exist, but hold a lot of promise for the future. The solution for effective PMS by AI will require restructuring data into appropriate formats for machine learning (ML).
