Imagine you’ve just been in a car accident or suffered a workplace injury. You’re starting to recover, and you’re hopeful. Your medical bills and lost wages will be covered, right? But then, your claim gets denied. What’s worse, the decision might have been made in mere seconds by an artificial intelligence system, not a human. This scenario is becoming more widespread as insurance companies increasingly turn to AI to assess claims.
Real-world Examples of AI in Insurance
AI is significantly changing the insurance landscape, often for efficiency rather than empathy. Models such as UnitedHealth’s nH Predict and Cigna’s system are at the center of controversy. These systems are sometimes accused of overriding well-considered medical advice provided by physicians, resulting in claims being denied almost instantly. The impact of these models is not only felt by the people whose claims are denied; it raises ethical questions about transparency and fairness.
Demanding Transparency from Insurers
To contend with these rapid, automated decisions, transparency becomes crucial. It is vital for policyholders to understand how AI systems work and to demand clarity from insurers. Knowing which data points are used and having access to the decision-making criteria can empower claimants to take informed actions if their claims are denied.
