Artificial intelligence; requiring informed consent for use by licensed mental health professional or health care provider; authorizing and prohibiting certain uses. Emergency.

Summary

The bill mandates that any mental health professional using artificial intelligence in therapy must give patients a clear, written explanation and obtain their explicit consent. It also bars AI from making independent treatment decisions, interacting directly with clients, or providing therapy over the internet without a licensed professional. Violations can lead to fines up to $10,000 and disciplinary action by the licensing board.
