Big Moves in AI Infrastructure

President Joe Biden just signed an executive order that's all about boosting AI infrastructure in the U.S. This order is aimed at speeding up the development of large-scale AI operations, including the construction of data centers and new clean power facilities. The goal is to ensure the U.S. stays ahead in the AI game without compromising environmental standards. Federal agencies will now help facilitate the building of these facilities and streamline the permitting process.

AI is revolutionizing healthcare in some amazing ways. Companies like Waystar, Qventus, and Hippocratic AI are using AI to reduce administrative waste, streamline hospital operations, and even help with medical procedures. For instance, Waystar's new AI tool can generate appeals for denied health insurance claims, saving doctors a ton of time. Qventus has AI "operational assistants" that help hospitals run more smoothly, and Hippocratic AI is creating patient-facing AI agents for tasks like pre-op prep and appointment scheduling.
