To evaluate whether this will work in practice I looked to the actual FDA and the Patent Office. The FDA: budget issues, understaffed, susceptible to political attacks. The Patent Office: budget issues, complete lack of ability to make fair and balanced decisions on software patents (e.g., the linked list is patented by Google, https://patents.google.com/patent/US7028023B2/en https://patents.google.com/patent/US7028023B2/en). I also am concerned with the broadness of algorithms. Better might be if we restricted it to algorithms in applications which could affect human safety or financial transactions. Still, given the past examples, I'm doubtful this would work well in practice.
