On this Ropes & Gray podcast, health care partner Jamie Darch and associate Andrea Millard introduce the Health AI Atlas, a new online resource designed to help health care stakeholders navigate the complex and rapidly evolving landscape of state laws regulating artificial intelligence. The discussion focuses on the top five things developers in the health care sector need to know about compliance, including understanding which laws apply, implementing robust compliance programs, ongoing risk monitoring, regulatory reporting, and the potential penalties for non-compliance. Jamie and Andrea also highlight the importance of considering broader privacy statutes that impact automated decision-making and profiling, even when not explicitly labeled as AI laws. With enforcement expected to increase, developers are urged to stay informed and proactive in meeting these new obligations.

Editor’s Note: Since this episode was published, the New York RAISE Act has been amended by Senate Bill 8828. Among other changes, the amendment significantly reduced the civil penalties the New York Attorney General may seek—from $10 million to $1 million for a first violation and from $30 million to $3 million for subsequent violations. The amendment also narrowed the definition of “large frontier developers” who are subject to additional obligations and removed the third-party independent audit requirement. The New York RAISE Act, as amended, will go into effect January 1, 2027. Listeners should refer to the amended text for the current state of the law.
