EMA explains how its AI tool “Scientific Explorer” is validated and controlled (FAQ updated March 2026)


Introduction⇒ EMA explains how Scientific Explorer uses validated AI, controlled prompts, secure EU cloud hosting, source verification and F1 scores of 0.89–0.94.

EMA published a short FAQ describing “Scientific Explorer,” an AI-enabled search tool used by the EU regulatory network to find regulatory precedents. The pharma-relevant part is the transparency: EMA describes it as information retrieval, not “AI generating new decisions,” and gives concrete validation metrics (F1 score range) plus hosting/governance details (secure EU cloud; no training new models on EMA data).
