AHS AI Guiding Principles:

Safe. Strategic. Responsible.

At Alameda Health System (AHS), we are committed to using AI in ways that reflect our values.

Artificial intelligence has the potential to transform health care delivery, but clear governance is needed to ensure its safe, fair and secure implementation.

The AHS AI Task Force has approved Five AI Guiding Principles to help ensure responsible adoption across the system.

Patient-Centered Care

Innovations are applied responsibly to enhance patient-centered care and are grounded in a commitment to fairness to support our diverse communities.

Augmentation over Replacement

AI is a partner that allows humans to focus on complex, creative, or empathetic work.

Governance

AI initiatives align with organizational goals, follow clear governance, and support mission-driven, high-value care.

Responsible AI

AI innovation is advanced with governance,
oversight, and monitoring to maintain safety,
accountability, and trust.

Security

AI systems must protect patient privacy, maintain data integrity, and meet the highest standards of regulatory, legal and security compliance.
