To maximize the data pool, it is customary to share patient data between clinics by sending copies of databases to the clinics where the algorithm is being trained. "These processes have often proven inadequate in terms of protecting patients' health data," says Daniel Rueckert, Alexander von Humboldt Professor of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare and Medicine at TUM. AI-based diagnostic processes support doctors.

These are two very different scenarios, but the same issue permeates both: How do we humans decide whether or not to trust a machine's recommendations? This is the question that a new draft publication from the National Institute of Standards and Technology poses, with the goal of stimulating a discussion about how humans trust AI systems.
The big telecommunications companies paid millions of dollars to specialist "AstroTurf" companies to generate public comments. These companies then stole people's names and email addresses from old files and from hacked data dumps and attached them to 8.5 million public comments and half a million letters to members of Congress.
