European Artificial Intelligence Act and webinar series from DNV

The European Union (EU) takes a significant step forward in regulating Artificial Intelligence (AI) with the introduction of the European Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act). Simultaneously, DNV and the AI-Mind consortium are thrilled to announce upcoming webinar series on conformity management for medical device software that uses AI, touching upon both EU Regulation 2017/745 for Medical Devices (MDR) requirements and the AI Act.

The European AI Act represents a major milestone in the EU’s commitment to shaping the global AI landscape. Its key provisions include:

  • Prohibition of AI systems that manipulate human behaviour.
  • Strict rules for high-risk AI systems.
  • Enhanced transparency and traceability.
  • Independent conformity assessments.

 

In conjunction with this significant development, DNV and the AI-Mind consortium are co-organising a webinar series to shed light on relevant aspects of conformity management for medical device software that incorporates AI. Dr. Frédéric Courivaud, a medical device software expert from DNV’s Healthcare Research Programme will deliver three presentations on the most urgent topics, while Dr. Ira Haraldsen will introduce participants to the AI-Mind and explore how the project can benefit from Dr. Courivaud’s expertise.

Save the following dates for the webinar series:

  • 6th June, 12:00-13:00 CEST: AI & Medical Device Software (MDSW): Views on specific conformity assessment aspects in the context of the current European regulatory landscape.
  • 13th June, 12:00-13:00 CEST: Machine learning in medical device software: A Notified Body’s perspective in a changing regulatory landscape.
