AI Summary
The bill expands California’s privacy law to treat apps, chatbots and other AI‑based services that handle medical data as health‑care providers, subjecting them to the same confidentiality rules. It also forces hospitals, clinics and doctors’ offices that use generative AI to label AI‑generated messages and to keep a human professional in charge of any clinical decision. The goal is to protect patients from undisclosed AI use and to ensure licensed clinicians remain ultimately responsible for care.
