Some CIOs are concerned that the increased demand for AI applications is incompatible with the time and costs needed to build, train and launch AI models. AI algorithms can take years and millions of dollars to build.

For example, Magesh Sarma, CIO of AmeriSave Mortgage Corp. told the Journal that his team spent $20 million to $30 million and several years to build an AI algorithm.

“If you rush it too much and you don’t have solid feedback loops, then people are just not going to trust the output, and they’re not going to trust that this is the right approach, and the whole thing just breaks down,” Jay Silberkliet, CIO of shipping company XPO, told the Journal. “With AI, it’s an incremental sort of approach.”

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
