From Overwhelm to Empowerment

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming more common in workers’ compensation. But that does not mean it is easy to understand. Many professionals adjusters, attorneys, nurse case managers, employers are asking:

• What exactly do these tools do?
• Will this help me or replace me?
• Where do I even begin?

This article is here to help.

Welcome to The MedLegal Professor’s Technology Lab™. Whether you work in claims, law, care, or compliance, you will learn about ten real AI tools already in use in the workers’ compensation system. Each one is explained in simple language for professionals with no tech background.

Most importantly, we ask one key question about every tool:  Does this technology protect the Grand Bargain or could it harm it?

What is AI + HI™?

At MedLegalProfessor.AI™, we use the phrase AI + HI™ to describe our approach.

• AI is Artificial Intelligence. It can read, summarize, calculate, and predict.
• HI is Human Intelligence. That is the experience, ethics, and judgment that professionals bring.

AI is fast. HI is wise. When combined, they protect the Grand Bargain.
