'Doctronic' Artificial Intelligence Prescribes Medicine with NO Human Input

By authorizing an autonomous AI to legally prescribe routine refills, the state is not merely testing a new tool, but testing a new model of medicine, one in which judgment traditionally exercised by physicians is delegated to algorithms operating inside a regulatory sandbox.

As Utah positions this pilot as a national model for AI in healthcare, it raises another question: is this a narrowly defined experiment, or the first step toward normalizing AI-driven medical decision-making without clear, settled guardrails?
