Questions

How safe is Le Chat (Mistral) for GP practices?
Le Chat (Mistral) has a strong published GDPR profile and is, with the right business settings, well suited to GP practices. EU options, no training on your data and/or self-hosting available.
Does Le Chat (Mistral) train on my data?
Data is held in the EU by default (Paris cloud, plus EU regions via Bedrock/Azure/Vertex). Open models run entirely in your own environment. Pro/Team/Enterprise and API do not train on your data.
What should I look out for with AI in GP practices?
Patient data is special category personal data (GDPR, WGBO). Only use systems with NEN 7510 certification, a data processing agreement and EU hosting; audio recordings of consultations must not be stored unencrypted with external servers. AI-supported triage and diagnostics are supportive, the GP remains ultimately responsible and must verify all AI output. Systems classed as high risk under the EU AI Act (diagnostic decisions) require an audit trail and explainability.
