For the largest health insurer in the US, AI's error rate is like a feature, not a bug.

    It’s not an error when the entire purpose is to deny as much as possible to steal even more wealth from the people.

      That’s right, it’s a feature of the system. Incidentally, this was a really great write up on how the main purpose of AI in the industry is the same as with hiring consultants, which is to externalize responsibilities. We’re just doing what the system tells us to do, don’t blame us for it
