New AfN guidance on AI in nutrition practice

📢 New AfN guidance on AI in nutrition practice

AI and machine learning are now part of everyday life, influencing how people access information, make decisions, and engage with health advice. However, research shows that only 42% of people in the UK are willing to trust AI (Gillespie et al., 2025), highlighting the need for these technologies to be used in a professional, safe and ethical way.

To support registrants, the Association for Nutrition (AfN) recently published new guidance to help ANutrs and RNutrs use AI, Machine Learning (ML), and Generative AI (GenAI) responsibly across all areas of practice—from client work and research through to policy, social media, and operations.

Grounded in AfN’s commitment to protect the public, the guidance focuses on practical actions under three key principles:
🔒 Protect
✅ Verify
💬 Disclose

Together, these principles help ensure that AI is used in ways that uphold accuracy, transparency, and trust, while reinforcing the importance of professional judgement.
