This report by the Center for Democracy and Technology highlights the risks of using AI for crucial benefits like Medicaid, Medicare, unemployment, and Social Security Disability. These AI tools need to be more transparent and explain their decision making to the beneficiary. AI algorithms can have unknown biases and are more likely to base their decisions on a person's diagnosis rather than the person's actual needs. Check out the full report for more info.
