Bill overview
This bill restricts the use of artificial intelligence in therapy and psychotherapy services in South Dakota. It defines key terms like ‘artificial intelligence’ and ‘licensed professional,’ and prohibits AI from making independent therapeutic decisions, interacting with clients during therapy, or generating treatment plans without a licensed professional’s review. Violations can result in civil penalties, and licensed professionals are permitted to use AI for administrative tasks only, maintaining full responsibility for all interactions and data.
