By Nicolas Hulscher, MPH A new MIT study titled, Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task, has found that using ChatGPT to help write essays leads to long-term cognitive harm—measurable through EEG brain scans.

Medicare Will Start Paying AI Companies a Share of Any Claims They Automatically Reject

It's long been the practice of private health insurers to require "prior authorization" before you can get the treatment you need. Often, they'll try to deny as many of these claims as possible — including with the use of AI models. Government-backed plans like Medicare, however, have tended to cover what private insurers don't, and without the laborious application process. But that could be poised to change.
