Pennsylvania HB1993 regulates the use of artificial intelligence in mental health therapy, allowing its use for administrative and supplementary.

Pennsylvania HB1993, the Artificial Intelligence in Mental Health Therapy Act, outlines the permissible use of artificial intelligence in mental health therapy. Mental health professionals can use AI for administrative support, such as managing appointments and billing, and supplementary support, such as drafting general communications. However, AI cannot make independent therapeutic decisions, directly interact with clients in therapeutic communication, generate therapeutic recommendations without review, or detect emotions or mental states.
