The Georgia Senate has passed a bill that would ban AI tools from being used independently to make coverage decisions.
The bill, which passed the chamber unanimously in February, would require a clinician to make the final decision on coverage denials. Insurers could still use AI to automate administrative tasks and in the review process, but the technology could not override the judgment of a clinician.
The legislation defines AI as “a machine-based system that can, for a given set of human defined objectives, make predictions, recommendations, or decisions influencing real or virtual environments.”
If signed into law, the legislation would take effect in 2027.
