Google has published the framework it uses to judge whether AI is safe and helpful when people ask it health questions. Developed with health experts Dr. Elizabeth McGlynn and Dr. Dana Gelb Safran, the whitepaper lays out an end-to-end evaluation approach for AI health use cases, and Google says it is sharing the methodology to promote transparency across the health ecosystem.
The framework grades models across three areas: accuracy, safety and usefulness. It combines closed-question benchmarks, automated raters and expert human review to assess both common and high-risk health scenarios, rather than relying on any single test.
Google says it built and continues to use the framework to assess whether its own models provide useful, accurate responses that promote safe interactions in health contexts. By publishing it, the company hopes to support developers, researchers and clinicians building AI tools people can trust, at a time when health is one of the most common reasons people turn to AI.
