Re:Insurance firm to replace human workers with AI system on Friday December 30, 2016 @08:10AM (#13284181)
This is a very ambitious attempt to replace complex and messy human powered business workflows with an AI system. Most current business uses of "AI" tackle tightly defined problems, like assigning invoices to a certain group, filtering out spam etc. Even if the implementation is successful, they will still have to retain quite a few people to deal with exceptions generated by the automated process.
The link between LDL-C and CHD is widely accepted because there is strong evidence for it:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26780009

"SUMMARY: The naturally randomized genetic evidence suggests that LDL-C has a causal and cumulative effect on the risk of CHD, and that the clinical benefit of exposure to lower LDL-C is determined by the absolute magnitude of exposure to lower LDL-C independent of the mechanism by which LDL-C is lowered."
