OpenVet Publishes Veterinary AI Safety Charter
OpenVet announced on January 12, 2026 the public release of the Veterinary AI Safety Charter, a comprehensive framework defining design, deployment, and governance of AI in veterinary medicine. The charter specifies clinician-in-the-loop requirements, high-risk output safeguards, species-aware constraints, and governance practices such as safety cases and advisory boards. OpenVet invites veterinarians, associations, educators, and regulators to review the living standard.
Key Points

- 2Establishes animal welfare primacy and clinician-in-the-loop requirement to prevent automation replacing veterinarian judgment.
- 3Guides developers and clinics to implement traceability, uncertainty reporting, species-aware constraints, and governance practices.
Scoring Rationale
Strong sector-first safety standard with actionable clinician safeguards; limited by single-company release and lack of independent adoption evidence.
