Initiative launched for the safe use of agentic AI in health and care

An initiative called TrustX has been launched to help verify, deploy, and test agentic AI for use across the NHS and social care.

It aims to support the government’s NHS 10 year health plan, which calls for the large-scale adoption of AI tools, including technology to support diagnosis, automation of admin tasks, predicting demand for services, and ambient voice agents for tasks such as note-taking.

TrustX aims to address the risk of bias, potential errors and misinformation from AI agents by evaluating how they behave in real-world situations, interact with other technologies and data sources, and how they may change over time.

The initiative is being run in partnership between Health Innovation Kent Surrey Sussex (KSS), the University of Cambridge’s Trustworthy AI Lab, the Responsible AI Institute and The King’s Fund.
