There are plenty. FAA, etc. Plenty they make worse too. But AI will be a great equalizer. So much of the friction and cost that bureaucracy introduces, can be eliminated by AI.

Gov doesn’t have to make a profit. So AI used well, can allow services from all levels of gov to do some things better, for less cost than private companies.

It won’t happen tomorrow, but if government agencies can find a way to use AI to optimize for the betterment of the people in this country (I know for many the default answer is no ), and are completely transparent about how AI is used, gov could look dramatically different in a decade

Tell me how a benefits manager is going to read through multiple , multi-hundred page contracts, and catch everything.

They can’t.

The big, vertically integrated healthcare are contractual terrorists. They only have to sneak through a few terms and conditions to extract money.

Your benefits manager has a o catch them all. I have yet to see one catch them all.

Not one single one. Not their lawyers. Not their CFO.

It’s not humanly possible for any organization with scale
