AI has the potential to streamline the drafting of PLS. The technology and its application in PLS continue to advance with organizations across clinical research exploring – if not implementing - its use. Yet, more concerns and questions are raised on responsible use of AI for PLS than practical insights and case examples towards consensus driven practices for integration. Representatives of the working group that published the “Considerations for Use of AI in PLS” consider the path forward including the conditions that may be needed for broad adoption and sharing key learnings and insights from the public comment period that preceded their publication.
