>> nWe're on the precipice of being able to install AI into positions of business critical processes. Hiring, billing, sales, and compliance

We're already there. Have been for several years now. I was doing RPA (robotic process automation) for about 4 years in a corporate environment. It went from, "Lets automate these mundane tasks" to "How can we create a billing platform that can be totally automated?". This was back in 2021, just for reference.

UnitedHealth Group Inc (UNH.N), uses an artificial intelligence algorithm that systematically denies elderly patients' claims for extended care such as nursing facility stays, according to a proposed class action lawsuit, filed on Tuesday.

Family members of two now-deceased UnitedHealth beneficiaries sued the insurer in federal court in Minnesota, saying they were forced to pay out of pocket for care that doctors said was medically necessary.
