OsteopathicAI Definition
The OsteopathicAI Definition establishes a profession-level ethical and practice standard for the design, selection, deployment, and use of artificial intelligence in osteopathic education, research, administration, and patient care. Developed through a collaborative effort convened by the American Osteopathic Information Association (AOiA), the framework ensures that AI augments — not replaces — osteopathic professional judgment and whole-person care, consistent with the humanistic ethos of osteopathic medicine.
