Utah's new AI Office zeroes in on generative AI in mental healthcare

Full Article

Utah has established the nation's first permanent state artificial intelligence office to regulate the use of mental health chatbots. Led by Zach Boyd, the office aims to protect consumers, foster innovation, and propose legislative measures to the state house. The focus is on addressing the use of AI in healthcare, particularly in the realm of mental health chatbots.

The office is concerned about the accuracy and reliability of mental health chatbots, especially in diagnosing conditions like depression. Stakeholders involved in the discussions include small provider practices, large health systems like Intermountain Health, and national mental health companies. ElizaChat is the first company to apply for regulatory mitigation through the AI Office, signaling a potential shift in how AI is utilized in mental healthcare.
