The EMA's new guiding principles on LLMs represent a transformative step in regulatory science, addressing both the immense potential and significant risks of these technologies. These principles emphasize the need to balance innovation with ethical considerations, tackling issues like data privacy, misinformation, and bias. LLMs, such as ChatGPT, hold promise for automating workflows like medical translations, pharmacovigilance reporting, and coding support. However, the EMA stresses continuous education, ethical governance, and collaboration among stakeholders to ensure responsible use.

Key recommendations include adopting strategies like prompt engineering to optimize AI outputs and fostering collaboration through initiatives like the European Specialized Expert Community (ESEC) for AI knowledge sharing. Bite-sized, accessible training programs can also help demystify LLMs for teams. As the life sciences sector embraces these tools, organizations must align with these principles to ensure compliant and impactful AI integrations.
