DeepMind AI faces privacy questions about its data deal with the NHS | WIRED UK

DeepMind faces privacy questions about its data deal with the NHS | WIRED UK: "The mostly-silent centre of arguments is the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), which oversees data protection issues in the UK. The body has been investigating the DeepMind and NHS deal since initial complaints were made.

The ICO confirmed to WIRED that its investigations into the sharing of patient information was close to finishing.

"We continue to work with the National Data Guardian and have been in regular contact with the Royal Free and Deep Mind who have provided information about the development of the Streams app," the ICO said. "This has been subject to detailed review as part of our investigation. It’s the responsibility of businesses and organisations to comply with data protection law.”" 'via Blog this'
