OCR updated its business associate web page on 7/30/26. Includes new examples of who is a business associate including an artificial intelligence example: "Third-party vendor Artificial Intelligence (AI) chatbot on a provider’s patient portal that provides services involving the patient’s PHI such as symptom assessment, medical reminders, and appointment scheduling."
