The proposed bill aims to prohibit healthcare providers and insurers in Arkansas from utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) in the delivery of healthcare services or the generation of medical records unless specific conditions are met. It introduces a new section to the Arkansas Code, titled "Artificial intelligence in healthcare prohibition," which defines key terms such as "artificial intelligence," "health benefit plan," "healthcare insurer," "healthcare provider," and "quality assurance laboratory." The definitions clarify the scope of the bill, including what constitutes a health benefit plan and the entities involved in healthcare provision and insurance.

Under the new regulations, healthcare providers and insurers are barred from employing AI technologies unless these systems receive approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and are verified by a quality assurance laboratory. This requirement is intended to ensure that any AI used in healthcare meets stringent standards for accuracy, reliability, safety, and ethical considerations, thereby safeguarding patient care and medical record integrity.
