HF 4979 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Delivery of professional services through artificial intelligence directly to consumers precluded, and enforcement and penalties provided.

This bill prohibits artificial intelligence models from directly providing licensed professional services to consumers in Minnesota. It requires that any AI delivering such services must be actively operated by a licensed human professional at the time of service. The law allows licensed professionals to use AI as a tool to assist their work but forbids the AI from acting independently. Violations of these rules can be enforced by the state attorney general under existing penalty statutes.
