> DeepMind, the AI lab of Google's Alphabet, has laboured for nearly two years to access medical records... Last month, the top UK privacy watchdog declared the trial violates British data-protection laws, throwing its future into question.

> Contrast that with how officials handled a project in Fuzhou... The summit involved a vast handover of data. At the press conference, city officials shared 80 exabytes worth of heart ultrasound videos, according to one company that participated. With the massive data set, some of the companies were tasked with building an AI tool that could identify heart disease, ideally at rates above medical experts. They were asked to turn it around by the autumn.
