Utah to let AI examine patients and prescribe medication without human oversight
This is real. Utah is the first U.S. state to allow autonomous medical decision-making by AI, which either signals regulatory maturation or regulatory capture depending on how you read it. For builders: this is a green light to develop clinical-grade agent systems if you can clear the liability question. For everyone else: watch whether other states follow or whether this becomes a cautionary tale. The physician sign-off requirement is completely gone, not just relaxed.
