California has enacted three new AI laws impacting healthcare from January 1, 2027, focusing on clinical decision support systems (CDS), medical data confidentiality with chatbots, and human customer service access for large businesses. Key regulations mandate developers and users of AI CDS systems to identify and mitigate bias, disclose training data and risks, and ensure physician judgment remains central in clinical decisions.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
