2. Research 2 examples of products from 2 different life science industries you can buy today that have less FDA oversight and approval than a pharmaceutical prescription drug. Note for your research in answering this question, you will use generative AI. Complete 2.a. Research and 2.b. Interpretation.
2.a. Research
For this assignment research using generative AI, use the prompt identified below and capture all requested information:
Generative AI system used, including version: <e.g. Gemini with 2.0 flash>
Prompt to use: What products does the FDA regulate?
Copy and paste response here:
<capture text response here>
Discussion of response:
<Discuss in your own words if you think the response was relevant to what we are talking about.>
List any references cited in the AI response: (Note: If the generative AI did not provide sources, enter a second prompt: “Can you provide specific citations for this answer?”)
<Capture any references or links cited or provided with the AI response.>
Discussion of references:
<Discuss your thoughts on the references in your own words. For example: Are the references relevant to your search? Are they robust and solid scientific references? Do the references increase or decrease your confidence in the AI response?>
If you use additional prompts, capture this same information for subsequent prompts.
2.b. Interpretation
Based on your research, and in your own words, explain why you think there is less oversight for each product, and if you feel the amount of oversight is sufficient for each product.
(
Hint: See the assignment rubric below to ensure that you are providing a complete answer.)
Product Example |
Why is there less oversight than a pharmaceutical? |
Is the level of oversight sufficient? Why or why not? |
