Policy of the week
Generative systems draft clinical text that a physician then attests to as her own authorship, and nothing in the finished record distinguishes what she decided from what a model produced.
Require machine-readable provenance for AI-generated clinical text at the point of generation, and move physician responsibility from authorship to clinically material adoption.
AB 2575 — California’s AI medical-record bill — is ordered to third reading. The decision point this proposal speaks to is on the floor calendar now.

The evidence base
Every substantive claim on this site traces to a primary source — the statute, the rule, the docket, the agency record. Proposals are labelled as proposals on every surface and are never presented as current law. Superseded research is preserved at its original address, demoted in ranking, never deleted.

Physician-led
KPSGILL is written by Kanwar Partap Singh Gill, MD, a family medicine physician practising in Fresno, California. The policy questions here are the ones that reach an examination room in the Central Valley: what a rule does to a patient’s access, to a small practice’s survival, to a clinician’s judgement.
For patients
The patient library is separate from the policy desk, written in plain language, and never mixed with legislative analysis: 127 guides, four languages.
