'Dr. AI' and the insurance recursion — Tesla's Safety Score is the live precedent
The episode's thesis — that deviating from AI advice (medical, driving) will raise your premium — has a real, dated precedent: Tesla's Safety Score 3.0 (rolled out from 2026-04-14) scores every FSD-Supervised mile at 100 and lowers the premium accordingly. Behavior-priced, AI-mediated risk is shipping. The open governance question is whether such scores stay contestable and transparent, or become opaque gates on care and credit.
Why it matters (spine — health). Human health, measured honestly. Track behavior-priced AI risk scoring as a live category; design the auditable, contestable version (the 'is this score fair?' product) rather than the black box.
What would prove it wrong (falsifier). Regulators bar AI-deviation premium adjustments, or the mechanism fails to spread beyond auto insurance within two years.
