HB 2410 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

artificial intelligence; privileged communications

HB 2410 would make communications with artificial intelligence protected (privileged) if those same communications would have been protected had they been made to a human professional, such as a lawyer or doctor. It directly affects people seeking advice from AI tools in contexts where human professional advice would normally be confidential. The bill establishes that AI interactions would be treated identically to human professional communications under existing privilege rules. This bill is currently pending in Arizona's legislature after its first two readings and has not yet become law.
