Is your doctor running behind? It’s probably your insurance company’s fault

What if Elon Musk was in charge of your healthcare?

It’s not as farfetched as you might think. I’m willing to bet you would consider it more possible now than if I’d asked you this question six months ago. What if, in the near-future, AI algorithms in healthcare advance to the point where corporate-owned conglomerations rely on the AI to determine who gets medical treatment — and who doesn’t?

AI algorithms in the news: Top five fascinating articles this week

So I thought it might be fun to start a weekly blogpost rounding up interesting articles on AI algorithms in the news in our current reality. What a fun timeline we’re in right now!
