Responsible AI Policy

RecoveryBuddy AI is committed to developing, deploying, and operating artificial intelligence responsibly. This Responsible AI Policy describes the principles that guide the design, implementation, operation, monitoring, and continuous improvement of the AI technologies used throughout the RecoveryBuddy AI platform.

Our goal is to use artificial intelligence in ways that empower individuals, support recovery, improve access to information, and assist providers and organizations while respecting privacy, safety, fairness, transparency, and human oversight.

Our Commitment

RecoveryBuddy AI is designed to:

Support individuals throughout their recovery journey.
Assist Peer Recovery Coaches and healthcare providers.
Improve access to educational resources.
Encourage informed decision-making.
Promote recovery-focused communication.
Respect user privacy and confidentiality.
Reduce harmful or inappropriate AI outputs.
Continuously improve quality and safety.

Artificial intelligence should enhance human capabilities—not replace human judgment.

Guiding Principles

RecoveryBuddy AI is developed and operated according to the following core principles.

Human-Centered Design

RecoveryBuddy AI is built to support people.

Artificial intelligence should:

Help users make informed decisions.
Provide educational information.
Improve accessibility.
Encourage healthy recovery behaviors.
Assist—not replace—human relationships.

Users remain responsible for important personal, medical, legal, financial, and recovery decisions.

Safety

Safety is a primary objective throughout the AI lifecycle.

RecoveryBuddy AI works to reduce the likelihood of harmful AI outputs through:

Model evaluation.
Prompt engineering.
Safety testing.
Output monitoring.
Abuse detection.
Human review where appropriate.
Continuous improvements.

No artificial intelligence system can eliminate all risk, and users should independently evaluate AI-generated information.

Fairness

RecoveryBuddy AI seeks to reduce unfair bias wherever reasonably possible.

We strive to design AI systems that treat users fairly regardless of:

Race

Age
Veteran status
Recovery pathway
Socioeconomic status
Geographic location
Other characteristics protected by applicable law

We continuously evaluate AI performance and make improvements when potential bias is identified.

RecoveryBuddy AI clearly identifies AI-powered features where appropriate and explains that AI-generated content may contain inaccuracies or limitations.

We encourage users to verify important information through qualified professionals.

RecoveryBuddy AI processes information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable law.
