Yes, here are the complaints from the referenced report ... 1) We do not know––and have no power to find out––what Google and DeepMind are really doing with NHS patient data, nor the extent of Royal Free’s meaningful control over what Google and DeepMind are doing; 2) Any assurances about use of the dataset come from public relations statements, rather than independent oversight or legally binding documents; 3) The amount of data transferred is far in excess of the requirements of those publicly stated needs, but not in excess of the information sharing agreement and broader memorandum of understanding governing the deal, both of which were kept private for many months; 4) The data transfer was done without consulting relevant regulatory bodies, with only one superficial assessment of server security, combined with a post-hoc and inadequate privacy impact assessment; 5) None of the millions of identified individuals in the dataset were either informed of the impending transfer to DeepMind, nor asked for their consent; 6) The transfer relies on an argument that DeepMind is in a “direct care” relationship with each patient that has been admitted to Royal Free constituent hospitals, even though DeepMind is developing an app that will only conceivably be used in the treatment of one sixth of those individuals; and 7) More than 12 months into the deal being made, no regulator had issued any comment or pushback. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs12553-017-0179-1 https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs12553-017-0179-...
