The premise
AI can structure IRB submission drafts covering AI-model risks and participant data flow, but the PI must sign and the IRB must approve.
What AI does well here
- Draft data-flow diagrams from a study protocol description.
- Generate plain-language consent language about AI participation.
- Surface common reviewer questions for a given study type.
What AI cannot do
- Determine what constitutes minimal-risk vs greater-than-minimal-risk for your population.
- Substitute for IRB review or PI accountability.
