Thanks for the heads up! Here's a news article that's not behind a paywall:

https://www.yahoo.com/news/science/articles/could-ai-renew-prescription-utah-130935359.html

"Utah's medical licensing board says it was not consulted until after the program had already launched and has called for the pilot to be suspended. The board's chairman warned that medication decisions can carry life-or-death consequences."

I'd like to know which part of Utah state government is paying for this & how much it costs.

Artificial intelligence begins prescribing medications in Utah

In a first, Utah is letting artificial intelligence — not a doctor — renew certain medical prescriptions. No human involved.

The state has launched a pilot program with health-tech startup Doctronic that allows an AI system to handle routine prescription renewals for patients with chronic conditions.

Utah Allows AI To Renew Medical Prescriptions - Slashdot
por BeauHD
Utah has launched the first state-approved program allowing AI to legally assist with prescription renewals. Through a partnership with AI health platform #Doctronic, patients with chronic conditions can renew certain medications online using an AI system that reviews clinical data & determines if a refill is appropriate. The AI’s treatment plans matched those of human clinicians in 99.2% of cases
