Prohibition on unauthorized therapy services.
(a) An individual, corporation, or entity may not provide, advertise, or otherwise offer therapy or psychotherapy services, including through the use of Internet-based artificial intelligence, to the public in this State unless the therapy or psychotherapy services are conducted by an individual who is a licensed professional.
(b) A licensed professional may use artificial intelligence only to the extent the use meets the requirements of Section 15. A licensed professional may not allow artificial intelligence to do any of the following:
(1) make independent therapeutic decisions;
(2) directly interact with clients in any form of therapeutic communication;
(3) generate therapeutic recommendations or treatment plans without review and approval by the licensed professional; or (4) detect emotions or mental states. (Source: P.A. 104-54, eff. 8-1-25.)
