Colorado Legislature Advances AI Regulations in Health Care and Chatbots
The Colorado legislature is advancing a series of bills aimed at regulating artificial intelligence (AI) in health care, therapy, and chatbots. House Bill 1139 seeks to prevent health care insurance companies from making coverage decisions based solely on AI-collected group data, requiring consideration of individual medical histories. House Bill 1195 targets the use of AI in psychotherapy, mandating clinician review of AI-generated recommendations and requiring client consent for AI use in sessions. Additionally, House Bill 1263 addresses AI chatbots, requiring transparency about AI interactions and implementing measures to prevent harmful content. These bills reflect growing concerns about AI's role in sensitive areas like health care and mental health.
