National Academy of Medicine Advocates for Proactive Assessment in Biomedical Innovation

The National Academy of Medicine has published a report advocating for "anticipatory assessment" in biomedical innovation. This approach emphasizes early and iterative foresight during the development of new technologies like mRNA, gene editing, and AI to prevent potential harms before market release. The report underscores the need for greater accountability from developers due to the rapid pace of innovation, aiming to ensure responsible technological advancement.
