Utah AI sandbox launches new health care pilots — with question marks
Utah has launched AI pilots focused on health care through its state sandbox program, though officials are still working through unresolved questions around medical liability and independent oversight of the initiative.
Why this matters: Health care is the highest-stakes place to deploy AI without clear answers. When something goes wrong — a missed diagnosis, a flawed recommendation, a record handled badly — someone has to be responsible. Right now, Utah does not seem to have nailed down who that is. 'Medical liability concerns' is a polite way of saying: if AI helps a doctor make a bad call, who pays? Patients deserve that answer before the pilots go live, not after.
