Alphabet, Apple, Amazon, and thousands of minor players are actually working with healthcare data. They own companies working in healthcare. They own companies hosting medical data. They would be stupid, from a scientific point of view as well as from a shareholder’s POV, not to try to profit from analysing aggregated as well as individual data.
Cue in ethical problems.
Cue in ignorance of ethical problems.
This needs a political fix.
Nothing else but a political decision could stop the total dystopian privacy nightmare. And I’m not sure about if it can be stopped in the first place.
TBC: as a scientist, I am very much exited about the benefits from the data analysis.
I’m not, however, an idiot assuming this will just have benefits for most people.
