As artificial intelligence (AI) tools become more commonplace in our daily lives, it is important that we understand not only their benefits, but also how to use them responsibly — especially in a healthcare environment. Patient privacy, data protection, and professional judgment must always come first when it comes to using AI tools at UVA Health.

UVA Health AI Safety and Awareness Week reinforces our commitment to safe, ethical, and thoughtful use of emerging technologies. This initiative focuses on practical guidance for everyday AI use, helping UVA Health team members recognize risks, protect sensitive information, and use AI tools in ways that align with our core mission and values. By building awareness and confidence across all roles — clinical and non‑clinical — we strengthen patient trust, protect our organization, and ensure AI supports care without compromising safety or patient privacy.

This inaugural UVA Health AI Safety and Awareness Week, please take a moment to explore the following resources on our webpage and discuss ways to safely use AI tools within your teams and departments.

Happy AI Safety and Awareness Week!
