As AI tools grow more powerful, especially in high-stakes fields like workplace violence prevention, we can’t afford to let capability outpace conscience. That’s why Advisor by Threatwise wasn’t just built to be smart—it was built to be safe.
From day one, we’ve treated ethical safeguards as a core design element—not an afterthought. This means Advisor doesn’t simply process documents or surface behavioral threat indicators. It operates with an embedded commitment to “do no harm.”
What does that look like in practice?
- Built-in guardrails. Advisor refuses to make speculative claims, label people as threats, or act outside its scope. It supports decision-making, not replaces it.
- Bias-aware architecture. We’ve taken steps to reduce algorithmic bias through careful testing, human-centered design, and review by experienced threat professionals.
- Curated knowledge database. Advisor’s outputs are grounded in vetted, professional sources—not scraped content or opaque black-box data.
- Privacy by design. Uploaded data and chat content are never used to train the model. No data mining. No secondary use.
- Ethical triage logic. Advisor surfaces red flags only when relevant, guided by structured professional judgment—not sensational language or unsupported inference.
Human accountability. Every recommendation is framed to support—not override—expert review and multidisciplinary coordination.
Violence prevention is not a numbers game. It’s about people, context, and consequences. An AI tool that ignores ethics may move fast—but it breaks trust. Advisor is built differently: grounded in threat management principles, aligned with privacy and legal expectations, and driven by a single priority—protect people, not just systems.
As organizations explore how to integrate AI into their safety programs, this should be the question at the center: “Does this tool protect not just the company, but the community it serves?”
At Threatwise, we believe that it can. And must.
