“AI holds enormous promise for the future of medicine,” Gottlieb said in the remarks, as reported by CNBC.  “We're actively developing a new regulatory framework to promote innovation in this space, and support the use of AI-based technologies.”

Gottlieb added that the FDA expects the number of AI-based submissions to continue to rise, “starting with medical imaging devices,” as these technologies evolve.
