"Yellow journalism" becomes "misinformation". "Lies, damned lies, and statistics" becomes "algorithmic bias". What's new is old again. Denial of care is not a new moral failing introduced by machines, it is an old cost-containment policy implemented more efficiently with computers. For example, the No Surprises Act of 2020 created a federally-managed independent dispute resolution (IDR) process for institutional players to appeal claim denials, while it (and Obamacare) intentionally left the rest of us with an opaque, privately-managed independent review organization (or IRO) process for our appeals. Examples are likely merely the tip of the iceberg. Little to do with AI. Or even computers. "Trump" is what this is about. Previously it was Bush, and before that Reagan, Nixon, or whoever the last non-Democrat was. Someone else besides "me".
