Bill > H0814

This bill establishes "neurological rights" for individuals, creating privacy standards for neural data and prohibiting electronic devices from bypassing conscious decision-making without consent, meaning personal brain activity and decisions are protected from unauthorized access or manipulation. It also regulates the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in health and human services by requiring notice when generative AI, a type of AI that can create new content like text or images, is used for patient communications involving clinical information, and by limiting AI's role in "utilization review," which is the process of determining if a healthcare service is medically necessary and appropriate. Furthermore, the bill modifies the membership and extends the duration of the Artificial Intelligence Advisory Council, a group that advises on AI use, until 2030, and mandates that this Council and the Director of the Division of Artificial Intelligence report on the ethical and responsible application of AI in healthcare, human services, and education.
