00:00AI-based medical devices in the UK will face ongoing monitoring, not just a single safety
00:05check before approval. This shift could change how millions of patients and healthcare providers
00:10rely on these tools every day. The UK government accepted all 44 recommendations from a report on
00:17approving AI tools. It plans to publish a full implementation plan by spring 2027,
00:22with a draft due by the end of this year. Britain is the first country to develop detailed rules for
00:28this emerging technology. Lawrence Tallon, head of the UK medicines regulator, said many countries
00:34are now looking to the UK's approach. He explained, we're moving into a much more sophisticated and
00:40complex era of AI as a medical device, where we have non-deterministic algorithms. The regulator
00:46will also start accepting applications for the third phase of its AI airlock program,
00:51which focuses on monitoring devices after they enter clinical use. Disclosure, this video contains
