AI prescribing medications? A new bill in the US could make it possible.

So far, AI's biggest impact in healthcare has been reducing administrative burdens - think ambient scribes and automated reimbursement coding. While clinical decision support systems (CDSS) have started to emerge over the last years, physicians have always remained the final decision-makers.

Now, a proposed US bill could change that by allowing AI to legally prescribe drugs. If passed, this would mark a significant shift, making AI more autonomous in patient care.

Regulatory and safety challenges remain, but this could be a turning point in how AI is integrated into clinical practice.
