Most of it doesn't even require AI. The majority of those jobs can be eliminated just by implementing existing interoperability standards between payer and provider organizers, and then writing some simple deterministic rules. I previously worked on projects to do just that. There is a tremendous amount of waste (and associated jobs) that can be eliminated without buying a single GPU.


They could also be replaced with even simpler code:

    bool should_approve_claim(int claim_id)
    {
        return false;
    }


Ha ha, but even single payer or socialized systems have similar mechanisms for preventing payments for treatments that don't meet medical necessity criteria. Blindly approving all claims would only serve to make the system more expensive and overloaded than it already is.
