We are having a blizzard in Boston today. It started around 3 in the morning and is expected to continue for much of the day. I thought I would take a break from snowblowing to finally finish my top ten countdown of my blog and LinkedIn posts of 2025. I had originally targeted the end
I continue to push through the last few in my countdown of my Top Ten posts on this blog in 2025, having now reached the number three post. Number three is actually one of my favorites. It raises the question of when, exactly, AI claims processing is proper and when, instead, it will prove to
Are you old enough to remember Soviet figure skating judges in the Winter Olympics? They used to be accused all the time of putting their thumb on the scale, lowering the allegedly “objective” scoring for American skaters so as to get the results they wanted.

This is a great story today from Lauren Clason at Bloomberg on litigation over claim denials in which AI was used to process the claims. There is a lot to be said about this issue, and I wish I had more time to write on it today. However, I have a brief due on Friday
As I have mentioned in the past, it seems to be taking an inordinate amount of time for me to get through my countdown of the top ten posts on my blog in 2024. Nonetheless, I have finally reached the end of this countdown, even if I am a little late across the
It’s interesting. I have been at DRI’s 2024 Insurance Coverage and Practice Symposium all day, and much of the discussion is either directly about or tangentially related to the impact of artificial intelligence on insurance.
