Intelligence doesn't come cheap as AI drives up costs for the NSA, hospitals, and insurers

AI deployment and oversight are generating steep cost increases across public and private sectors, according to reporting cited by The Decoder. The NSA is spending billions on compute power to evaluate advanced AI models. Concurrently, US lawmakers estimate comprehensive AI oversight will require tens of billions annually—sharply exceeding earlier Congressional Budget Office estimates of $20 million—while AI-assisted billing codes increased US healthcare costs by nearly $1 billion across two years.

AI performance costs are falling faster than those of any previous technology

Research from Epoch AI and MIT indicates that the cost of achieving a fixed AI benchmark performance level is dropping rapidly. Epoch AI measures an annual price decline of approximately 13x, while MIT estimates that algorithmic progress alone drives roughly a 3x annual efficiency gain after controlling for hardware advances and market competition. However, advanced reasoning models can still lead to higher overall costs due to increased per-task compute requirements.
