How this applies in Healthcare
HIPAA applies to AI processing patient data. States mandate disclosures when AI assists diagnosis, billing, or scheduling.
On top of state AI laws, every healthcare business in the US inherits federal context: HIPAA Privacy/Security Rule, FDA pre-market AI/ML guidance (SaMD), OCR civil-money penalties for unauthorized PHI disclosure. EU customers add EU AI Act and GDPR obligations.
