Modifies provisions relating to medical malpractice for the use of artificial intelligence by health care providers
SB 1598 updates medical malpractice laws to address errors involving artificial intelligence in healthcare. It adds a specific two-year time limit for patients to sue if negligence relates to AI use in diagnosis, treatment, or patient care - starting from when the patient discovers the error, not when it occurred. This applies directly to patients seeking compensation for harm caused by AI tools used by healthcare providers like doctors, hospitals, or clinics. The bill does not change liability but adjusts the legal timeframe for filing claims involving AI-related mistakes.
