The United States National Security Agency is reportedly spending billions of dollars on testing advanced AI models, mainly on computing power, according to The Decoder citing The Washington Sun.
According to the same report, lawmakers expect full AI oversight to cost tens of billions of dollars annually. A prior estimate from the Congressional Budget Office put the figure at $20 million.
In U.S. healthcare, coding for AI-based invoicing has driven expenses up by nearly $1 billion over two years. The source does not specify which systems and market participants contributed to this amount.
