- The House Communications & Technology Committee has passed House Bill 1925 in a 19 to 7 vote, aiming to mandate transparency around the use of artificial intelligence in healthcare.
- The bill would require patients to be notified whenever AI technology is employed in their care and specify how it’s used.
- It establishes that any AI-driven decisions in patient care must be reviewed by a human being.
- The legislation also calls on health insurers or practitioners to demonstrate that their use of AI helps mitigate and minimize discrimination or bias.
- The bill’s sponsor, Rep. Arvind Venkat, an emergency room physician, emphasizes the need to improve care while addressing AI technology’s potential faults.
- Republican lawmakers expressed concerns that overly stringent regulation may hinder technological progress, though some agreed on the necessity of guardrails for AI deployment.
- The office of Republican Attorney General Dave Sunday has signaled support for the bill.
