As artificial intelligence becomes more common in Veterinary medicine, regulators and professional organizations are developing guidelines to ensure its safe, ethical, and transparent use. In the United Kingdom, the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons and the Veterinary AI Transparency Alliance have proposed 23 principles requiring AI developers to disclose key information, including whether Veterinary professionals participated in designing, testing, or validating their products, who owns the technology, how client data is used, and what level of human oversight is required.
Meanwhile, the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) is developing similar best-practice guidelines covering AI literacy, privacy, transparency, validation, and professional accountability. The effort follows growing use of AI for tasks such as note-taking, diagnostics, radiograph interpretation, and patient monitoring, despite research showing that some AI tools can produce inaccurate results. The emerging guidelines emphasize that AI should enhance—not replace—professional judgment, with veterinarians remaining ultimately responsible for patient care and clinical decisions.
