By Anna Claire Vollers, Stateline.orgA bipartisan group of Pennsylvania state legislators recently hatched a plan to regulate the use of artificial intelligence in health care. This year alone, more than a dozen states have passed laws regulating AI in health care, according to Manatt Health, a national health services firm. Arizona, Maryland, Nebraska and Texas now ban insurance companies from using AI as the sole decision-maker in prior authorization or medical necessity denials. State AI legislation has been sponsored by both Democrats and Republicans and has been approved with bipartisan support, a reflection of broad concerns over its expanding use in health care. “As AI use has grown in the health care industry, we have already seen evidence that AI usage can reinforce bias and discrimination,” Venkat said in a statement.
