Ask

Questions you can actually ask.

Say who you are and what is in front of you. You will get questions to take to a visit, a huddle, a pitch, or a kitchen table.

Who is asking?

What is in front of you?

School tools, companions, homework, a child's inner life at 2 a.m. You are already in the story.

For I am a parent or caregiver

An elder in the household is using a companion or a health app

Opening

Who is this for — the person, or the people who worry about the person?

Take these

  1. 01

    Does the elder understand what is listening, and can they refuse?

  2. 02

    What happens to a recorded conversation with a nurse, a child, a grief?

  3. 03

    Is this adding a relationship, or replacing one that was already thin?

  4. 04

    If it gives health advice, who is accountable when it is wrong?

If you want the specialist shelf

Same questions, denser rooms. Go when you are ready — not as a test of seriousness.

Health-specific guidance

Ethics and governance of AI for health — large multimodal models

World Health Organization

WHO's 2024 guidance on large multimodal models in health: consent, evidence, equity, and the duties that remain with clinicians and states.

The question is not 'is AI risky?' but 'what does care require of this tool?'

Database of named risks

AI Risk Repository

MIT AI Risk Initiative

More than 1,700 risks drawn from dozens of existing frameworks. Two maps sit on top: a domain taxonomy (what kind of harm) and a causal taxonomy (who, on purpose, and when).

You are writing a policy, a board paper, or a curriculum and need the source taxonomy.
