Healthcare startup Nolla Health announced on Monday that people in Utah can receive acne prescriptions through its app. Users scan their faces, and the company's AI system assesses acne severity and autonomously writes a prescription. The move is drawing attention as an early example of artificial intelligence handling prescribing decisions without a human doctor in the loop, raising questions about safety and regulation.

Why now: It is a notable early case of AI autonomously issuing medical prescriptions, sparking debate over AI in healthcare.
