Google’s DeepMind Scrutinized Over Accessing NHS Patient Records

in science •  8 years ago 

I think it's pathetic that someone would be upset over an AI violating their medical privacy to help other people, and really it would be bad if they were upset even if it weren't helping people because there's nothing to be embarassed about - an AI isn't passing judgements like humans do it just takes the data and looks for patterns. I think all medical records from all hospitals and anywhere else that has them should be given to AI like DeepMind and IBM Watson so that we can all live better and longer lives. Trying to keep them private is selfish and absurd, the same as hiding medical history from your doctor while you're dying and hes trying to help you.
