UW Medicine shares interim guidelines for the use of Artificial Intelligence
In the meantime, UW Medicine offers interim guidance for answers to questions about approved uses, important restrictions and resources for additional direction.
Here’s an example of one of the questions answered in the interim guidelines:
Question: Can I use a publicly available generative AI or LLMs (e.g., OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s BARD/Gemini, or others) to assist me in my job?
Answer: Yes, with the following limitations:
Users must not share…any of the following data with these tools:
- UW Medicine patient data or clinical data of any kind, including deidentified patient data
- Personally identifiable information
- Proprietary UW Medicine data
- Intellectual property of any kind
Users must not:
- Use information derived from the tools to inform clinical care
- Rely on information derived from the tools without validation
- Disseminate content generated by the tools without careful review
If you have a question that is not addressed in this interim guidance, or have feedback, you can contact the team by emailing GenAIatUWM@uw.edu.
