Google has placed itself at the heart of Britain’s National Health Service by absorbing its wholly owned DeepMind Health unit into the Chocolate Factory - data and all. It has also scrapped the unit’s “independent review panel”.

Google acquired DeepMind, an attention-grabbing UK software company founded by former games developer Demis Hassabis, in 2014. After the subsidiary launched an (AI-free*) mobile phone app for NHS clinicians called Streams, the company repeatedly promised that personal data that Streams acquired would not be used by Google.
