Bill > SB00447

This bill proposes to amend title 38a of the general statutes to prohibit health carriers (insurance companies or healthcare providers) from using artificial intelligence (AI) in evaluating and determining patient care. The purpose of the bill is to protect patients' access to medical testing, medications, and medical procedures by preventing AI systems from making critical healthcare decisions. By restricting the use of AI in patient care determinations, the legislation aims to ensure that human medical professionals, who can consider nuanced individual patient circumstances, remain the primary decision-makers in healthcare assessments. The bill seeks to address potential concerns about AI's limitations in understanding complex medical situations and the risk of algorithmic bias that could negatively impact patient treatment options.
