Maryland HB995 regulates the use of artificial intelligence by behavioral health care providers, requiring independent review of AI-generated data.

Maryland HB995 establishes rules for behavioral health care providers using artificial intelligence. It mandates that providers independently review AI-generated data for accuracy. Providers must obtain written informed consent from patients if they use AI systems that could access protected health information. This consent must ensure the confidentiality of health information and prohibit its use for training AI. The bill also defines "therapeutic communication" and restricts AI use in patient care, except for administrative tasks, while ensuring compliance with confidentiality laws.
