This also coincides with the reintroduction of the FDA modernization act 3.0 into the house today. That bill would require the FDA to start work toward phasing out animal testing expanding on the passed FDA modernization act 2.0 act which only allowed them to do so, but did not require it

Unsure why the article talks exclusively about AI rather than other, much more rigorous, non-animal models like organs on a chip
