Insurers say AI is already driving up healthcare costs

Original: Insurers claim AI is already increasing healthcare costs

US health insurers are claiming that artificial intelligence is already increasing healthcare costs, according to a TechCrunch report. The allegation puts the industry at odds with the common narrative that AI will make medicine cheaper and more efficient. Critics are likely to scrutinise how AI-driven tools, from prior authorisation to claims processing, affect patient care and medical spending.

Why now: It challenges the widespread expectation that AI will lower healthcare costs, making it a contentious claim in an active debate.
