The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 447, seeks to amend title 38a of the general statutes by prohibiting health carriers from using artificial intelligence in the evaluation and determination of patient care. The primary objective of this legislation is to ensure that patients maintain access to necessary testing, medications, and procedures without the influence of AI-driven decision-making processes that may compromise their care.
The bill emphasizes the importance of safeguarding patient access to essential healthcare services by eliminating the potential risks associated with AI evaluations. By removing the use of artificial intelligence in these critical areas, the bill aims to prioritize human oversight and judgment in patient care decisions, thereby enhancing the quality and reliability of healthcare services provided to patients.
