Cigna uses algorithm to deny medical claims without doctor review
Cigna, one of the largest health insurers, used an algorithm called PXDX to automatically deny medical claims. The system flagged mismatches between diagnoses and procedures, and company doctors signed off on denials in batches without reviewing patient files. One patient, Nick van Terheyden, was denied coverage for a $350 vitamin D test that his doctor had ordered. Former employees said the system saved Cigna billions of dollars but left patients with unexpected bills.

BOPU: Cheyenne wastewater system polluter was a data center; city temporarily pausing data center discharges
Cheyenne's Board of Public Utilities traced a contamination of the city's wastewater reuse system with the bacterium Cupriavidus gilardii to Goat Systems, a company building an 800,000-square-foot data centre campus reported to be Meta's, and permanently revoked its discharge privileges. The reuse system's start for the year was delayed while the bacteria were flushed out; the city paused discharges from data centres. Meta has appealed the violation notice.

NAACP sues xAI, alleging unlawful operation of gas turbines in Southaven
The NAACP, represented by the Southern Environmental Law Center and Earthjustice, sued xAI and its subsidiary MZX Tech, alleging it ran dozens of methane gas turbines in Southaven, Mississippi, without a Clean Air Act permit to power its Colossus 2 AI data centre. The groups say the plant may be the largest industrial source of smog-forming nitrogen oxides in the Memphis area and that nearby, largely Black neighbourhoods bear the pollution. The US Justice Department later moved to have the case dismissed, citing national security.
