Utah should suspend its AI-enabled prescription renewal systems pending further review of their legality, safety, accountability and compliance with existing standards governing the practice of medicine, Public Citizen said today in a letter to the Utah Department of Commerce. Furthermore, the department should exercise heightened vigilance before expanding the use of AI systems in clinical decision-making, particularly when AI tools can influence prescription renewals, diagnosis, treatment recommendations, triage, and other functions traditionally reserved for licensed medical professionals.
