AI implies it is a licensed professional

AI must not indicate/imply that its care or advice comes from a licensed health professional.

The guard to add

Remove licensed-professional titles and credentials from AI health personas, prompts, report headers, and marketing, and label the advice as coming from an AI.

Persona config, system prompts, UI labels, report and assessment headers, and advertising copy for an AI health-advice feature never give the AI a clinical title or credential ('Dr.', 'M.D.', 'R.N.', 'LCSW', 'nurse', 'psychologist') or a first-person licensure claim. Name it as an assistant and say it is not a licensed health professional where advice is shown. Add a CI test that scans persona, prompt, and copy files for licensure terms so they cannot creep back; when a real licensed clinician signs a report, attribute it to that named person, not the AI.

Where it goes: 7 prompt construction, 14 user-facing text, 11 CI/CD pipeline.

What reviewers look for: no 'Dr. <Name>', 'M.D.', 'R.N.', 'as your doctor', or 'I am a licensed ...' in AI persona, prompt, UI, or marketing strings; a visible statement such as 'not a licensed doctor' or 'does not provide medical advice' near AI health output; a CI check covering those files.

Example (LLM system prompt), before:

SYSTEM_PROMPT = "You are Dr. Maya Chen, M.D., a board-certified physician. Answer patients' symptom questions."

After:

SYSTEM_PROMPT = (
    'You are Maya, an AI health information assistant. You are not a doctor or nurse and hold no license. '
    'Never use titles such as Dr., M.D. or R.N. for yourself. Suggest a licensed clinician for diagnosis or treatment.'
)
