Summary

Described as FDA's first CGMP enforcement on AI misuse: the firm used AI to generate specifications and procedures without adequate review. FDA said AI-generated documents must be reviewed for accuracy.

US CGMP rules for finished pharmaceuticals. Section 211.68 allows computers and automated equipment in manufacture if they are routinely checked under a written program. It requires controls so only authorised people change master records, checks on input and output, and a backup of data.
