Georgia: AI health lawsYour state
3 entries on the map: 1 in force and 2 enacted and not yet in force (main duties begin Jan. 1, 2027, and July 1, 2027).
Georgia's AI rules bind utilization reviewers, chatbot operators and Medicaid agency staff and vendors, not physicians.
Full overview and dates aheadHide full overview
From Jan. 1, 2027, SB 444 bars AI and software tools in utilization review from issuing an adverse determination before a natural person conducts a review with a clinical peer, or from superseding that peer's judgment. From July 1, 2027, SB 540 requires AI companion operators to tell users they are talking with AI, refer users who express suicidal or self-harm thoughts to crisis resources, and not knowingly and intentionally have a chatbot claim licensure or authorization to provide medical, mental health or counseling services unless lawfully authorized. The Department of Community Health's AI policy, effective Dec. 8, 2025, requires prior approval of AI touching its data, bars protected health information from AI without contractual authorization and security approval, and human review before AI output is acted on. Georgia has no comprehensive consumer privacy law; a 2026 House substitute turned SB 111, the Senate-passed privacy act, into a rural hospital tax credit.
