These recommendations published by The American Geriatrics Society (AGS) incorporate data obtained from a literature review of the most recent studies available at the time. As with all clinical reference resources, they reflect the best understanding of the science of medicine at the time of publication, but they should be used with the clear understanding that continued research may result in new knowledge and recommendations. These Recommendations are intended for general information only, are not medical advice, and do not replace professional medical care and physician advice, which always should be sought for any specific condition.

DESCRIPTION

The American Geriatrics Society's statement on Generative AI is the first geriatrics-focused framework to address the ethical, clinical, and systems-level implications of GenAI in the care of older adults, translating foundational geriatrics principles into actionable guidance for clinical use, health system governance, and technology development. The statement includes recommendations on the ethical use of AI, clinical integration and oversight, transparency and documentation, privacy protections, and governance across the AI lifecycle.
