Bill overview
This bill addresses the use of deceptive language by artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI (GenAI) in healthcare. It prohibits AI systems from using terms or phrases that falsely suggest they are providing services by a licensed healthcare professional. The law aims to protect patients from misleading information and ensures that AI-generated health advice is clearly identified as such, requiring disclosures about its AI origin and instructions for contacting a human provider. Violations will be handled by the appropriate healthcare licensing board.
