California AB1979 regulates the use of artificial intelligence in clinical decision support systems and health care chatbots.

California AB1979 adds a new chapter to the Business and Professions Code, establishing rules for the use of artificial intelligence in clinical decision support systems. It mandates that health facilities, clinics, physician offices, and group practices ensure licensed health care providers retain independent professional judgment when using AI-generated outputs. The bill prohibits the use of AI systems for clinical functions requiring a licensed professional and requires businesses offering health care chatbots to adhere to health care provider standards.
