Join us for a webinar with Beth Venit VMD, MPH, DACVPM:
Regulatory Considerations of the Use of Artificial Intelligence in Veterinary Medicine
A misconception about artificial intelligence (AI) devices is that because the software or devices are not regulated by the federal government, the use of them is not regulated. Failing to recognize this put licensees at risk for disciplinary action by regulatory boards. This presentation will summarize common and current laws that govern the practice of veterinary medicine and how these laws apply to use of Artificial Intelligence. It will also address new concerns that veterinarians need to be aware of as they start using AI, such as automation bias, hallucinations, and black boxes. This presentation will be based on the white paper that AAVSB released earlier this year: Regulatory Considerations for the Use of Artificial Intelligence in Veterinary Medicine.
