❌ HB525
Regards use of artificial intelligence in therapy services
Current Status: In House Committee (Health)
Summary
The bill regulates the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in therapy services by licensed professionals in Ohio. It allows licensed therapy professionals to use AI for supplementary support tasks, provided they obtain informed consent from clients and adhere to confidentiality requirements. The bill prohibits AI from making therapeutic decisions or directly interacting with clients.
Rationale
The bill introduces regulations on the use of AI in therapy, which may conflict with the Libertarian principles of minimal government intervention and personal autonomy. Both LP and LPO platforms emphasize individual rights and limited government, and the bill's regulatory nature may be seen as an infringement on professional autonomy and client choice.
Risks and Concerns
- Increased government regulation on therapy practices
- Potential limitations on client choice regarding therapy methods
- Risk of overreach in defining the scope of AI use in therapy
