Would the same be true for the manual version of the same procedure I outlined? If so, what are the risks you are concerned about? If not, why would the compute

  Of course it's true that a manual version of google/deep-mind should involve informed consent for data being given to a third party - and should also be tested for its effectiveness. The large group of clerks you describe seems like it could leak a lot of data, just for example. The thing is neither the Google algorithm nor your idea have proven effectiveness. The "obviously it would improve things so worries over implementation and data control are hand wringing" attitude seems to neglect the fact that all sorts of apparently logical steps actually have turned out to not do the good people expected (Cholesterol drugs being a good example, yes they lower cholesterol, no they don't improve life expectancy, etc)- and also that a good program should be implementable with good data controls, there no reason to frame this as a trade-off.
