342 - Quality Control and Ethical Use in Veterinary AI


Listen Later

Dr. Petra Harms, veterinarian and founder of VetMaite, joins Dr. Andy Roark to tackle one of the most overlooked questions in veterinary AI: how do we know these tools actually work? AI scribes, chatbots and diagnostic aids are flooding into veterinary clinics, but who is testing their accuracy, safeguarding client data, or setting ethical standards? Petra is a big fan of AI (she’s not calling for chisels and stone tablets) but argues that without proper quality control, veterinarians and clients could pay the price. In this thought-provoking episode, you’ll hear why “data is the new gold,” what every practice owner should ask before buying an AI tool, and how to embrace technology responsibly without sacrificing patient care or privacy. If you’re excited about AI but also a little uneasy, this is the conversation you didn’t know you needed. Let’s get into this episode!
