According to @DeepLearningAI, Illinois became the second U.S. state after Nevada to ban AI apps from administering psychotherapy without a doctor’s direct participation under the Wellness and Oversight for Psychological Resources Act, source: DeepLearning.AI. The law prohibits marketing chatbots as therapeutic tools and bars clinicians from using AI to make treatment decisions or assess a patient’s mental state, source: DeepLearning.AI. It requires informed consent for any recorded or transcribed sessions and restricts AI to administrative tasks only, source: DeepLearning.AI. Violations can incur fines up to $10,000 per use; AI healthcare deployments in Illinois and Nevada must exclude psychotherapy functionality or face penalties, source: DeepLearning.AI.
