This bill sets new rules for how licensed therapy and psychotherapy professionals in Kentucky can use artificial intelligence in their work. It prohibits using AI to assist during recorded therapy sessions and restricts how AI can be used more broadly in providing these services. It also requires that therapy services only be advertised or offered if a licensed professional is actually conducting them, and ensures all records between a professional and a patient remain confidential. Who it may affect: people seeking mental health therapy or psychotherapy services, and licensed therapists and psychotherapists practicing in Kentucky.
