Thinking about AI being used in conjunction with insurance at all makes me physically cringe. If somebody was looking for a tool to remove responsibility for denying claims or applying bias, it's the tool for the job.
I know that's not the side that you're talking about here, but still, I don't think I trust a system that's basically Giant Autocomplete to handle this
Algorithms have been doing this for years now
Not basically, that's exactly what it is.
Fun Fact, United Healthcare has been rolling out automated claim handleing and denial for a couple of years now, leading to increased denial rates, even after their CEO was murdered.
