House Resolution No. by Representative Lacombe calls on the United States Congress to take decisive action regarding the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare. The resolution acknowledges the potential benefits of AI, such as improved efficiency, diagnostic accuracy, and reduced costs, while also expressing concerns about the possible undermining of physicians' roles in medical decision-making. It emphasizes that AI should serve as a supportive tool rather than a replacement for the professional judgment of trained physicians, who are essential in interpreting complex medical data and addressing individual patient needs.

The resolution outlines several key actions for Congress, including ensuring that physicians maintain control over medical decisions, establishing nationwide standards for AI use in healthcare, and promoting transparency and ethical guidelines for AI technologies. It stresses the importance of protecting patient safety, data privacy, and the integrity of the doctor-patient relationship. The Louisiana House of Representatives remains committed to integrating new technologies in a manner that upholds the ethical practice of medicine and prioritizes patient well-being. A copy of the resolution will be sent to relevant congressional leaders and Louisiana's congressional delegation.
