Google Could Soon Have Access Sensitive Genetic Patient Data— We Should All Be WorriedArtificial intelligence is already being put to use in the U.K.'s National Health Service (NHS), with Google’s AI firm DeepMind providing technology to help monitor patients. Now I have discovered that DeepMind has met with Genomic England—a company set up by the Department of Health to deliver the 100,000 Genomes Project—to discuss getting involved. If this does indeed happen, it could help bring down costs and speed up genetic sequencing—potentially helping the science to flourish.
