If you're in Australia and you ask PIA about your lab test results, PIA will give you a plain-language local answer.

If we haven't written about that test yet, PIA will make it clear that it can't answer you.

Honest, clear, helpful. PIA.

Or you might receive global information when local Australian details matter - for example, laboratory result reference ranges can vary by location.

AI has many promising future applications, but it is still in its early stages. Some applications are much further ahead than others.

You may have seen this recent Guardian story:

A Guardian investigation highlighted how AI overviews can provide inaccurate information about our pathology test results. This can leave users at risk of believing they are healthy when they are not.
