> GKS archives PDA Whiteboard Paper #1 by George Kwiecinski, a review of five FDA documents referencing AI, rated 5 stars by the PDA community.

---

The [PDA Whiteboard](https://www.pda.org/document-review/document-rating) launched as a space for the [PDA](https://www.pda.org/) community to share early-stage work and collect preliminary ratings and peer review. A member posts a document, the community reads it, and ratings accumulate over a fixed window.

[George Kwiecinski](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kwiecinskigeorge/), a PDA member and GKS founder, published the first paper in the series. GKS is logging and archiving the content in [KeyPedia](https://keypedia.com) so the record stays accessible after the rating period closes.

## About the Paper

The paper reviews five FDA warning letters and establishment inspection reports that reference artificial intelligence, including the [April 2026 Purolea Cosmetics Lab letter](https://www.fda.gov/inspections-compliance-enforcement-and-criminal-investigations/warning-letters/purolea-cosmetics-lab-722591-04022026), the first CDER warning letter to name AI as a contributing factor in an adulteration finding.

The core finding is grounding, not hype. AI appears as one of eight to nine observations in each document, always paired with more severe, better-established citations like quality unit failure, inadequate microbiological testing, and inadequate CAPA.
