Re: This raises a lot of questions...
The data wouldn't have been magically transferred at no cost to the hospital. Aside from all the meetings where the senior management devoted time to getting involved in the AI startup scene, rather than solving problems with such trivialities as waiting times, staffing, etc, the hospitals must have put in work to get the data extracted, probably from multiple systems. Not to mention the drawing up of contracts, privacy discussions (yeah, right), compliance and auditing (what's that?), security guarantees (ha ha, just kidding..)
But no, we're in Cambridge, and lots of clever people do clever things with computers here, and we should hop on the AI / big data hype whether the company's ideas are moonshine or not. There's no possibility that the AI touters have spotted a way to milk public data and public services just to enrich themselves......
