Artificial intelligence (AI) is projected to significantly impact the U.S. fiscal deficit by enhancing health care efficiency. A study from the Brookings Institution suggests that AI could reduce the annual budget deficit by 1.5% of GDP by 2044, translating to approximately $900 billion. This transformation could democratize access to health care and improve public health outcomes.
The report emphasizes that while AI presents a unique opportunity to streamline health care, challenges such as regulatory hurdles and incentive structures may impede its widespread adoption. Economists express a mix of optimism and concern regarding AI's potential to reshape health care delivery and its subsequent effects on federal spending. The successful integration of AI could lead to a healthier population and reduced government expenditures.
