There was a recent anecdote from the head of radiology, Mayo Clinic I believe, that went something like this:

- AI has allowed radiologists to review a much higher rate of x-rays

- The above has led to a dramatic increase in need for faster processing, more storage of scans etc

- which in turn led to needing a bigger IT department to manage all of the additional workload

There was a similar anecdote about the IRS where the claim is they went from having N accountants to having much fewer accountants but now they need N IT people to manage the new systems.
