AB 3030

Definition

California Assembly Bill 3030 is a focused regulation targeting the use of Generative AI (GenAI) in healthcare communications. It mandates that if a GenAI tool is used to communicate clinical information to a patient, a human healthcare provider must review and approve that communication before it is sent.

Compliance Relevance

AB 3030 requires either Human Review (exempting strict disclaimers) or specific, prominent disclaimers for fully automated systems. It specifically targets the risk of AI hallucinations in clinical contexts.

Why It Matters

Clinics must implement 'Human-in-the-Loop' workflows. Automated tools can draft responses, but a human should ideally hit 'send'. Verify malpractice insurance covers liability for unreviewed GenAI outputs. Generate compliant disclaimers with our AB 3030 Disclosure Generator.

Expert Risk Analysis

CRITICAL. The liability for unreviewed AI output that leads to harm is 100% on the licensed provider. There is no 'safe harbor' for technical errors.

Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as a 'Human in the Loop'?

A licensed healthcare professional must substantially review and approve the specific output. A blanket 'AI policy' is not enough. If you lack HITL, you MUST use a specific disclosure. Generate one with our free AB 3030 Disclosure Generator.
