California weighs bill to limit AI therapist chatbots
California’s proposed Senate Bill 903 would ban companies from advertising AI chatbots as therapy and prohibit AI from making therapeutic decisions without review by a licensed clinician. The bill would also require providers to disclose and obtain patient consent before using AI tools to record therapy sessions or triage mental health care, signaling a stricter governance framework for digital mental health technologies.
