What is AI (Artificial Intelligence) and ML (Machine Learning)? Do we all have the same understanding? How do we trust the data? What about bias or managing risk?
Artificial Intelligence is an impressively fast-moving technology in all fields, especially for medical devices. It is already improving patient lives with innovative healthcare, lower healthcare costs, and better patient outcomes, but as with all advances, if not properly regulated, these benefits could possibly open risks to safety and security. Pat Baird, Senior Regulatory Specialist at Philips, will address new and emerging regulations and standards (both national and international), and where this technology will take us in the next few years.
Join this open discussion with Pat that will include:
-
· The differences between AI and ML
-
Differences between Predictive AI and Generative AI
-
· FDA Cleared AI examples

Pat Baird, Senior Regulatory Specialist at Philips
Pat Baird works at Philips as a Software Standards Specialist, with a focus on the use of AI in healthcare. Pat likes to think of his job as “Policy Engineering” – understanding the unmet needs (and frustrations) of regulators and developers, and developing standards, whitepapers, and training to meet those needs. Past roles have included software developer, engineering manager, project manager, lead engineer, and Director of Risk Management before getting involved in regulatory & standards. He co-chairs multiple committees related to artificial intelligence at AAMI, ISO, CTA, AdvaMed, and AFDO/RAPS, and is involved with other software committees regarding topics such as cloud services for a regulated environment, risk management, cybersecurity, and is a sub-team lead for the IMDRF AI for Medical Devices committee; Pat also was one of the authors of the RAPS Software as a Medical Device book.
