Utah to allow AI to prescribe medication without human oversight

Original: Utah to let AI examine patients and prescribe medication without human oversight

Utah is set to become the first US state to allow artificial intelligence systems to examine patients and prescribe medication without requiring review by a human clinician. The move has sparked debate online about patient safety, medical liability, and whether regulators in other states will follow, with commenters questioning how such systems would be held accountable for errors.

Why now: It would be an unprecedented loosening of medical oversight rules, raising safety and ethical concerns.
