HHS Is Using ChatGPT (AERO) to Audit $2.1T in Federal Health Spending — With No Published Error Rate

Tech Times·medium signal

New July 13 reporting escalates concerns over HHS's AERO initiative, which deploys ChatGPT and other LLMs to scan five-plus years of Single Audit Act records for any organization receiving ≥$1M in federal funds — Medicaid agencies, hospitals, FQHCs, universities, research grantees. HHS has not disclosed the tool's error rate, appeals process, or a compliant human-review workflow, and outcomes can include payment holds or permanent debarment. Under OMB Memo M-25-21, HHS must report 'High Impact AI' risk practices by Sept 22 or potentially shut the program down.
