From the article: “There’s no AI [written decisions] that are going out without having human interaction and that human review,” Sewell said. “We can get decisions out quicker so that it actually helps the claimant.”
You absolutely know that this will turn into "Computer says no." we've seen time and time again that people just accept the system outputs. See Horizon, Robodebt, other scandals for details. This will just be the next one.

@CatherineFlick It would be nice if these ignorant pennyrubbing technocrat ghouls would take the time to read Weizenbaum.

@einarwh yes! And you just know that the “human in the loop” will be some poor precarious worker on minimum wage with very little training “because the computer does the work”.

@CatherineFlick I mean how would the human break out of the loop, stop the loop, say the loop is all wrong? The human in the loop is just a hostage.

@einarwh @CatherineFlick you two should know that seeing this float past in my timeline the other day has led to me spending far too much time making this slide for a conference talk I'm doing tomorrow
