Human control is part of the product.

Patricia is intended to assist with bounded, non-clinical tasks. It is not an emergency service or a replacement for professional care.

Approved scope

Physical and digital actions should be limited to what has been deliberately made available for the task and setting.

Human handover

A person should be able to intervene when identity, consent, safety or task scope is uncertain.

Privacy by setting

Collect and retain only information needed for the intended service and deployment environment.

Initial boundaries

  • No claim to provide emergency response.
  • No medical diagnosis or treatment advice.
  • No unsupervised high-risk physical tasks.
  • No assumption that an AI system should replace professional judgement or care.

Requirements will differ by task, robot and deployment setting. Real deployments should be evaluated against the applicable safety, privacy and regulatory obligations.
