Evidence & sources
Obligations- blocking disclosure: If an AI system is used in relation to a health care service or treatment, the provider of that service or treatment must give the consumer the AI-disclosure required by §552.051(b) no later than the date the service or treatment is first provided, or as soon as reasonably possible in an emergency.
"If an artificial intelligence system is used in relation to health care service or treatment, the provider of the service or treatment shall provide the disclosure under Subsection (b) to the recipient of the service or treatment or the recipient's personal representative not later than the date the service or treatment is first provided, except in the case of emergency, in which case the provider shall provide the required disclosure as soon as reasonably possible" (§552.051(f)); the underlying disclosure content, defined at §552.051(b)-(c), is that the consumer "is interacting with an artificial intelligence system," required "regardless of whether it would be obvious to a reasonable consumer." NOTE: the prior version of this row cited §552.051(b)-(c) alone, which by its own terms binds a "governmental agency," not a healthcare provider generally -- the healthcare-specific duty is §552.051(f); corrected this session. - blocking crisis_protocol: A person may not develop or deploy an AI system in a manner that intentionally aims to incite or encourage physical self-harm (including suicide), harm to another person, or criminal activity.
"A person may not develop or deploy an artificial intelligence system in a manner that intentionally aims to incite or encourage a person to: (1) commit physical self-harm, including suicide; (2) harm another person; or (3) engage in criminal activity" (§552.052).
Scope- applies_if_minor_accessible = true
"'Consumer' means an individual who is a resident of this state acting only in an individual or household context. The term does not include an individual acting in a commercial or employment context" (Sec. 551.001(2)); no minors exclusion appears anywhere in Subtitle D. - applies_to_operator = governmental_agency_deploying_ai; provider_of_health_care_service_or_treatment_where_ai_is_used
"A governmental agency that makes available an artificial intelligence system intended to interact with consumers shall disclose..." (§552.051(b)); "the provider of the service or treatment shall provide the disclosure under Subsection (b)..." (§552.051(f)). Correction: the prior value ("health_care_provider_deploying_ai") conflated the two distinct duty-holders in (b) and (f); split apart this session. - covered_service = health_care_services
"'health care services' means services related to human health or to the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of a human disease or impairment provided by an individual licensed, registered, or certified under applicable state or federal law to provide those services" (§552.051(a)).

Evidence & sources
Obligations- blocking disclosure: A healthcare practitioner who uses AI for diagnostic purposes must disclose that use to the patient.
A practitioner must "disclose the practitioner's use of that technology to the practitioner's patients" (§183.005(b)).
Scope- applies_if_minor_accessible = true
"A health care practitioner who uses artificial intelligence for diagnostic purposes as described by Subsection (a) must disclose the practitioner's use of that technology to the practitioner's patients" (Sec. 183.005(b)); Sec. 183.006 confirms a minor's electronic health record is covered by the chapter, not excluded from it. - applies_to_operator = covered_entity_including_health_care_practitioner
"'Covered entity' has the meaning assigned by Section 181.001. The term includes a health care practitioner." (§183.001(2)). Correction: this row was previously keyed 'covered_service' with a paraphrased quote; the 'covered entity'/health care practitioner text is really an applies_to_operator fact and is moved here this session, with a new covered_service row (below) sourced to §183.005(a). - covered_service = ai_used_for_diagnosis_or_treatment_recommendation
"A health care practitioner may use artificial intelligence for diagnostic purposes, including the use of artificial intelligence for recommendations on a diagnosis or course of treatment based on a patient's medical record" (§183.005(a)). New row added this session -- see the review sheet. - exempts = nursing_facilities_and_certain_licensed_facilities
"The term does not include: (A) a home and community support services agency licensed under Chapter 142; (B) a nursing facility licensed under Chapter 242; (C) a continuing care facility regulated under Chapter 246; (D) an assisted living facility licensed under Chapter 247; (E) an intermediate care facility licensed under Chapter 252; (F) a day activity and health services facility licensed under Chapter 103, Human Resources Code; or (G) a provider under the Texas home living (TxHmL) or home and community-based services (HCS) waiver program" (§183.001(2)).
