Imagine recovering from a car accident or a workplace injury, filled with hope that your personal injury claim will cover your medical expenses and lost wages. But then, unexpectedly, the insurance company denies your claim. The twist? This decision might not have been made by a human at all, but by an artificial intelligence model. In recent years, the insurance industry has increasingly relied on AI to determine policy outcomes, introducing risks and challenges for claimants.
Highlighting Real-World Examples
AI's involvement in insurance decisions is not just theoretical. For instance, UnitedHealth's nH Predict and Cigna’s system have faced backlash for potentially overriding physician advice and denying claims within seconds. These models, while designed for efficiency, often lack the human touch necessary for fair claim assessment, sparking controversy over their ethical implications.
Demanding Transparency
As AI becomes more prevalent, it is crucial for consumers to demand transparency from insurers about their decision-making processes. Understanding the algorithms and criteria used by these AI systems can empower policyholders to contest decisions and push for fairness. Without transparency, there’s a risk of unjust denials slipping through undetected.
