All the articles telling us big data driven AI was now going to save us after all and we had to get over pre-covid privacy worries. During digital dependency we need privacy more than ever.
There are many ways data can help us but not without careful regulations that make sure it’s protected, safe, effective and for the public good… not just a bunch of companies capitalising on crisis.
“In the end, many hundreds of predictive tools were developed. None of them made a real difference, and some were potentially harmful”
“… many tools were developed either by AI researchers who lacked the medical expertise to spot flaws in the data or by medical researchers who lacked the mathematical skills to compensate for those flaws”

This misleading propaganda website by @ukhomeoffice which hides its source and aims to deter asylum seekers seems to also raise questions of compliance with UK data law. I recently FOIA’d the @ukhomeoffice on compliance: whatdotheyknow.com/request/726991…

I’m being told to share the new link as my evidence moved you can read it here old.parliament.uk/business/commi…
