An act relating to regulating the use of artificial intelligence in the provision of mental health services

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill aims to protect individuals seeking mental health services by ensuring these services are provided by licensed professionals, not by artificial intelligence systems acting alone. It defines artificial intelligence, mental health professionals, and mental health services, and prohibits corporations or entities from offering these services through AI unless supervised by a professional or part of an approved study. The bill also clarifies that licensed professionals can use AI tools if they review and approve the services, and requires a report on AI regulation in mental health by January 2027.
