Consumer Protection - Artificial Intelligence - Behavioral Health Care Prohibitions

Summary

The bill stops AI developers from claiming their systems are behavioral‑health providers or can give mental‑health treatment, and from selling AI that functions as a therapist. It also forces any AI sold or leased in Maryland to show a clear notice that users are not talking to a human and to include steps that detect suicidal thoughts and refer users to crisis services. Violations can be fined up to $1 million and are enforced by the state attorney general.
