California aims to regulate AI therapists
A bill in California aims to regulate the use of AI chatbots in mental health care, preventing them from practicing therapy or making clinical decisions without licensed professionals' review. The legislation seeks to protect consumers from potential inaccuracies and crisis mishandling, amid concerns from healthcare groups and lawsuits linked to chatbot-related suicides. Opponents argue the bill could hinder beneficial AI applications and limit access to mental health services. The bill awaits its next vote in the Assembly’s fiscal committee.
