Can AI Fix Housing and Healthcare Affordability?

Can AI Fix Housing and Healthcare Affordability?

Housing and healthcare make up nearly half of household spending, yet both sectors are riddled with inefficiency and rising costs.

In this episode, Erik Torenberg is joined by a16z Growth partner Alex Immerman and Minna Song and Tony Stoyanov, cofounders of EliseAI, to discuss why they’re tackling these critical industries and how AI can transform everything from leasing and maintenance to patient scheduling and compliance.

The conversation covers:

  • Why the U.S. is 5 million housing units short — and how technology can help unlock existing supply
  • How automation can cut waste, reduce labor costs, and improve affordability
  • What fully autonomous buildings might look like, and how that model could extend to healthcare

This is about the costs that touch every household, and the role AI might play in finally bringing them down.

There is a recurring theme that the tech industry is busy cranking out fluffy social apps rather than hardcore technology. Not the case, say Chris Dixon, Benedict Evans and Balaji Srinivasan. Not only are tech entrepreneurs going after the deficiencies in healthcare, transportation, finance, energy - you name it - with new approaches riding on top of sophisticated technologies, what looks like fluff today often wields some serious influence tomorrow.
