    Apparently that is the case already. HN title has been changed to

    Human judgment[!] must remain central to health insurance claims: California law

    Top comment explains:

    The headline is misleading. The bill allows AI and algorithms to be used, as long as it doesn’t supplant a licensed medical professional deciding (K.1.D), or violate civil rights along with a few other things, but it’s not outright prohibited as the headline could be interpreted.

    Section K.1 of SB 1120

    (old title was some thing like New California law prohibits using AI as basis to deny health insurance claims)
