A Blue Cross Blue Shield Association analysis found that hospital use of AI coding tools caused a sharp rise in complex-condition claims without matching changes in care, adding $942M in spending over two years. A BCBSA exec called it a 'one-sided blood bath' against insurers. Abridge's founder warned of a dystopian 'bots fighting bots' future but said AI could also reduce tensions.
