United States of America: Bill amending Business and Professions Code to include provisions on implication of professional licensure by AI systems was adopted by State Legislature

On 8 September 2025, the Bill amending the Business and Professions Code to include provisions on the implication of professional licensure by Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems was adopted by the California State Legislature. The Bill seeks to regulate the use of AI in health care. The Bill applies to developers and deployers of AI or generative AI systems that use medical titles or terms implying professional licensure. It prohibits AI tools from suggesting that advice or care is provided by licensed health professionals. Violations fall under the jurisdiction of relevant health boards, with each misuse treated as a separate offence.
