- Colorado Governor Jared Polis signed legislation (HB26-1139) to set requirements for the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare.
- The new law ensures that human oversight is included for critical insurance coverage determinations, especially denials.
- The legislation aims to safeguard equitable healthcare for Coloradans by preventing AI systems from making life-impacting decisions without human input.
- AI can expedite approvals in healthcare coverage but cannot be solely used to deny coverage without human review.
- The new law aims to ensure transparency, accountability, and fairness in healthcare decisions, protecting patients from algorithmic bias.
