I don't have the content of the specific STAT+ article you mentioned in the title. The search results provided contain information about the FDA's January 2026 decision to deregulate AI-powered medical devices, but are not direct quotes from the STAT+ article titled "A provocative proposal asks the FDA to let some AI devices on the market without review". Based on available sources, I can confirm that the FDA has indeed announced changes to the Clinical Support Software (CDS) regulation on January 6, 2026 that allow certain AI-powered products to enter the market without FDA review if they meet established criteria. However, these changes are not the direct content of the article you asked to summarize. If you could provide me with the full text of the STAT+ article, I could create an accurate factual summary as per your requirements.
