Abstract
We live in interesting regulatory times. In January, a bill was introduced to the US Congress proposing that AI “can qualify as a practitioner eligible to prescribe drugs” if overseen by the States and FDA. This a bold and contentious move. Even proponents of AI’s swift integration into medicine must recognize the deep paradox: this proposal emerges even as the FDA’s world-leading infrastructure for AI oversight faces dismantling.
