Google AI.

What you need to know

  • Nevada is reportedly getting ready to integrate a Google AI-powered system into its employment department to hasten benefit claims for unemployed workers.
  • The state is reportedly buried in a backlog of claims dating back from the COVID-19 days, and the new system could scale down the review and recommendation process from several hours to five minutes.
  • Experts have shown concern about the new approach and indicated that human intervention will be crucial to ensure that everything checks out, which could take as much time as the previous approach.
