ATA Action submitted detailed feedback to the FDA endorsing a two-axis risk framework for regulating generative AI medical devices based on clinical function and risk, urging real-world risk standards that consider rural healthcare access. They also proposed a voluntary federal-state clinical AI regulatory sandbox to harmonize fragmented state rules with FDA standards and improve deployment in underserved areas.

You must prepare for risk-based FDA rules that focus on clinical function, not just AI tech type. The federal-state AI sandbox means inconsistent state rules may ease soon, opening clearer paths for safe AI products in healthcare.
