California signs three bills tightening healthcare AI rules: assist, not replace doctors

California legislators signed three bills tightening rules on AI in healthcare:
- AI can support, not replace, clinical decision-making — licensed professionals retain authority over patient care
- Algorithmic bias must be addressed — developers and providers must assess, monitor, and correct foreseeable bias
- Chatbots can't pretend to be human — large companies must disclose AI interactions, with some healthcare communications exempt
The takeaway: healthcare AI regulation is moving beyond transparency toward human oversight.
