Health Occupations - Behavioral Health Care Providers - Use of Artificial Intelligence

Summary

The bill bars behavioral health clinicians from using artificial intelligence to assess, diagnose, treat, or communicate therapeutically with patients. It does permit AI tools for scheduling, billing, record management, and data analysis if providers follow privacy rules, sign agreements protecting health information, notify patients of the AI use and risks, and verify the AI’s output. Providers must also obtain written consent when AI could influence clinical decisions.
