Utah's pharmacy board authorized AI prescription renewals through a telemedicine loophole, creating the first state-level test case for AI autonomy in regulated healthcare. The state's medical board is now moving to shut it down. The conflict exposes a gap between the two regulators: the pharmacy board saw efficiency opportunity; the medical board saw liability and patient safety risk. How healthcare AI gets deployed will depend less on technical capability and more on which regulatory body defines the rules.
