Specifically on AI, the Strategic Partnership emphasizes advanced technology and R&D as a key pillar, with cooperation in the public sector extended to explore the enhancement of regulatory collaboration, including the development of common approaches for evaluating AI enabled medical devices and the exchange of knowledge on regulating emerging technologies.
