How do you make sure that the scientific conclusions generated are evidence-based and accountable?

At Owkin, we recognize that any scientific tool, whether it’s AI-driven, a spreadsheet, or statistical software, can be misused or lead to misleading conclusions if not applied responsibly. That’s why K Navigator is built with robust safeguards to promote transparency, accountability, and scientific rigor.

Every result generated by K-Navigator is grounded in evidence from authoritative sources such as PubMed and validated biological knowledge bases. For each output, users can trace back recommendations to their original sources, ensuring full provenance and transparency. Our explainability features log every data source, model decision, and rationale, making the reasoning process fully visible and auditable.

To further reduce the risk of false or hallucinated information, we’ve implemented technical checks to verify that every cited source exists and is relevant to the scientific question at hand. However, we acknowledge that no AI system is infallible—scientific oversight and expert review remain essential. K-Navigator is designed to assist researchers, not replace human expertise or decision-making.With these measures, we empower users to make informed, reliable decisions while maintaining the highest standards of scientific integrity.
