Google has published an evaluation framework for AI used in health contexts, assessing responses for accuracy, safety and usefulness. The company says the approach combines benchmarks with automated ratings and expert human review, covering common and high-risk health scenarios. [1]

Google says it uses the framework to assess its own models and is sharing the methodology to support transparency. The company’s post describes the evaluation approach but does not report independent results or show that the framework establishes clinical effectiveness. [1]
