SB 1598
SB 1598 expands the scope of medical malpractice claims to include cases where a healthcare provider negligently uses or relies on artificial intelligence in diagnosis, treatment, or patient care, resulting in injury. The act establishes a two-year statute of limitations for such claims, starting from the date of discovery or when the patient should have discovered the negligence, whichever occurs first. The legislation addresses risks associated with AI systems in healthcare, particularly focusing on liability and patient safety.
