Connecticut Comptroller Sean Scanlon joins Lisa Wexler to discuss new protections against the use of artificial intelligence in Connecticut’s health plans. The protections, negotiated with health insurers, with the intent to extend safeguards to all Connecticut residents through the legislature. They discuss provisions that would prohibit adverse determinations based solely on AI-driven downcoding programs, as well as protections governing the use of health data to train AI models. Scanlon also explains how his office would enforce these new rules and what consumers should know about the changing role of AI in health care. Plus, Scanlon weighs in on prediction markets, including concerns about insider information, the lack of regulation surrounding these markets, and the ethical questions raised by platforms that allow users to profit from predictions about real-world events.
