(Originally published by JAMA Health Forum on March 19, 2026.) Utah’s AI Prescription Renewal Pilot: A Measured Step Into Autonomous Medicine Utah has launched a novel pilot program permitting an autonomous AI agent, developed by the company Doctronic, to renew prescriptions for 192 drugs treating chronic conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and depression. The initiative addresses structural challenges that patients may encounter getting prescriptions renewed, including provider shortages and cost barriers. The pilot incorporates meaningful safeguards: human physicians will review the AI’s output for the first 250 patients, an automatic escalation protocol refers complex cases to clinicians, and Doctronic is contractually prohibited…

A job applicant is screened out by an automated hiring system. A prosecutor relies on an AI tool to assess a defendant’s likelihood of recidivism. A public agency adopts a system meant to make decisions more fairly, only to discover that the tool may be replicating old patterns of discrimination in new ways. (From left to right) Professor Spencer Overton, George Washington University Law School, Professor Guy-Uriel Charles, Harvard Law, and Professor Ralph Richard Banks, Stanford Law School Those were just a few of the scenarios that animated Antidiscrimination Law x AI, a recent two-day convening at Stanford Law School.…

As the weather starts to cool down and outdoor pools shut, are you thinking of pressing pause on your child’s swimming lessons, or even stopping altogether? If your child has reached a certain level, has stopped making progress or is no longer enjoying their swimming lessons, you may also be considering pulling the pin. But just because a child can float – or can even reliably swim some freestyle – they may not yet be water safe.

On 20 March 2026, the Bank of Russia Board of Directors decided to cut the key rate by 50 basis points to 15.00% per annum. The economy is approaching a balanced growth path. In February, price growth predictably decelerated after a temporary acceleration in January. The Bank of Russia estimates that the underlying measures of current price growth remain in the range of 4–5% in annualised terms. However, uncertainty regarding the external environment has increased considerably. The Bank of Russia will assess the need for a further key rate cut at its upcoming meetings depending on the sustainability of the inflation slowdown, the dynamics of inflation expectations, and the analysis of risks posed by external and domestic conditions. According to the Bank of Russia’s forecast, given the monetary policy stance, annual inflation will decline to 4.5–5.5% in 2026. Underlying inflation will be close to 4% in 2026 H2. In 2027 and beyond, annual inflation will stay on target. In January…
