Health justice charity Medact says data-sharing potential could be used for UK version of US immigration raids
www.theguardian.com/technology/2... Palantir's omnipresent roots in government system are high risk if gov heads right. @carolecadwalla.bsky.social calls NHS integrated data the golden goose for data surveillance. We don't need seamless integration at the risk of privacy and perhaps freedom

Revealed: UK’s multibillion AI drive is built on ‘phantom investments’
Exclusive: Rented datacentres and unrealised supercomputer site raise questions for Starmer’s push to ‘mainline AI into veins of economy’
