84 new AI laws passed in 27 states in just six months. What do they actually mean for clinicians, practice owners, and the people they serve? Rachel talks with Jai Jaisimha, Co-Founder and COO of the Transparency Coalition, about the fast moving world of AI legislation. Jai breaks down why chatbot safety has drawn support from both parties, why anyone deploying AI should demand transparency from the companies that build it, and what new limits on AI in insurance authorization mean for providers.
