It features Andy Cumpstey and Desiree Chappell and their guests, John Whittle, honorary associate professor of Perioperative medicine at University College London and \u200aDuncan McPherson, Head of the clinical team at QMD Services and Anesthesiologist and Honorary Professor at University College London. We discuss how early AI research shares core requirements with other research\u2014especially data safety and governance\u2014while medical device regulation applies the same legal principles to AI as to other devices: safety and performance, alongside separate data protection laws. Patient concerns focus on data use, trust, and whether AI use in care should require consent. The panel addresses \u201cblack box\u201d models, evolving software, bias and generalisability. The conversation contrasts regulated medical devices with unregulated scientific publishing, noting risks from AI-generated fraudulent papers and limits of relying on peer-reviewed literature, while emphasizing critical appraisal and appropriate clinical implementation.
