Bill overview
The Healthy Technology Act of 2021 proposes to allow artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning technologies to prescribe certain drugs. Currently, drug prescriptions require a license from a human practitioner. This bill would update the Food and Drug Administration’s regulations to recognize AI and machine learning systems as potentially qualifying prescribers if they are authorized by state law and approved by the FDA. This change aims to expand access to medication while ensuring appropriate oversight of AI’s role in healthcare.
