Bill H.814 aims to establish a framework for the ethical and responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in health and human services while recognizing and protecting individual neurological rights. The General Assembly intends to promote equity, enhance accessibility, and ensure accountability in healthcare through AI. The bill introduces a new chapter, Chapter 42C, which outlines individual rights related to mental and neural data privacy, freedom of thought, and protection from unauthorized neurotechnological interventions.

Additionally, the bill amends existing legislation to establish the Artificial Intelligence Advisory Council, which will provide guidance on AI systems used in state government and engage in public outreach. The council's membership will include representatives from various fields, including ethics, healthcare, and education, with specific appointments made by relevant organizations. The council is tasked with reviewing guidelines, researching AI applications, and submitting a report to the General Assembly by January 15, 2027, recommending statutory changes and pilot projects to enhance public engagement and protect neurological rights. The act will take effect upon passage.
