Officials in Nevada plan to use Google’s artificial intelligence system to assist with the appeals process for unemployment benefits, according to a report in Gizmodo. The thinking behind the move is that AI can analyze and summarize hearing transcripts and evidentiary documents faster than a human could, and then offer a recommendation on whether the unemployment claim should be approved or denied.
