SB 903: Mental health professionals: artificial intelligence.

This bill would regulate the use of artificial intelligence by licensed professionals providing psychotherapy services. It would prohibit the use of artificial intelligence to record or transcribe psychotherapeutic communications or sessions, or to triage or screen a person for the need for psychotherapy services, unless the patient or their authorized representative is informed and provides consent. The bill would also prohibit licensed professionals from allowing artificial intelligence to perform certain acts, such as making independent therapeutic decisions or detecting emotions or mental states. Violations of the bill's provisions would be subject to the jurisdiction of the appropriate health care professional licensing board or enforcement agency. The bill would also require the use of artificial intelligence in psychotherapy records to comply with confidentiality requirements.
