Responsible AI and AI transparency
This is our AI transparency statement. It sets out where we use AI, how people oversee it, how we tell you when you are dealing with it, and who is accountable when it gets something wrong.

Where we use AI
- Prime Assist
- Answers and handles patient calls, in several languages.
- Averra
- In development. Designed to bring a person's health data into one picture and flag changes, pointing them to tests or a doctor. It does not diagnose.
- Prime Edge AI
- Decides where each AI request is answered: on the device, or by a frontier model in the cloud only when needed.
- Gateway Assay
- Reviews codebases for technical due diligence, alongside our engineers' expert review.
Models and providers
[TO CONFIRM]
Human oversight
People review the AI output that matters, and consequential decisions about people stay with people.
[TO CONFIRM: where review happens, and how issues are escalated]
Telling people when they are dealing with AI
- Our voice agents say they are AI at the start of every call.
- Chat assistants label themselves.
- AI-generated content we publish is labelled where relevant.
How customer data is used
[TO CONFIRM]
Testing and evaluation
[TO CONFIRM: accuracy, safety, quality across languages, fairness checks]
Accountability
[TO CONFIRM: for example the CTO for technical performance, the CSO for clinical safety, the CEO overall]
Known limitations
AI can be wrong. It can misunderstand a request or give an answer that sounds right and is not. That is why people oversee the output that matters, and why our products point people to a person when that is the right next step.
