California AI Regulations Affecting Pharmacies
Two primary laws govern AI use in pharmacies in California:
AB 489: The Transparency Mandate
AB 489 requires any AI system that interacts with patients to clearly disclose its non-human nature at the start of every interaction. For pharmacies, this means all patient-facing chatbots, virtual assistants, and automated systems must display clear AI disclosure notices.
AB 3030: Generative AI Oversight
AB 3030 specifically targets Generative AI (like ChatGPT) used in healthcare. If your pharmacy practice uses GenAI to generate patient communications, clinical summaries, or educational content, a licensed healthcare professional must review and approve the content before it reaches patients.
