From what science has shown us, learning AI such as DeepMind have been making astounding progress and can even outperform fully trained humans in activities like games, art, rerouting traffic, mapping delivery routes and even healthcare. Deepmind in some instances was even able to predict kidney issues two days before they occurred, preventing irreversible damage. However, with DeepMind implemented into the medical world, it leaves Google holding millions of people’s sensitive medical documents and records open to malicious intent. According to an article written by Julia Powles and Hal Hudson, DeepMind has already had a troubling past regarding sensitive documents. In an incident involving over one million patients, medical records were apparently mishandled and moved back and forth without patients consent. These patients who had blood tests searching for kidney issues using DeepMind had medical documents tampered with.
Though aside from this, the challenges that DeepMind has been able to overcome have made incredible progress in the development of A.I and the medical field. The intense capability of this A.I and the mysterious yet elusive scope of human comprehension and ability are shown in an article on nature.com; while playing a game with the AI, Lee made a play that somehow got past DeepMind. David Silver, a scientist working on DeepMind who's been one of the leaders in the development of AlphaGo stated; DeepMind estimated the moves probability was around 1 in 10,000. Scientists are still skeptical to whether this was either genius or sheer luck, some commentators even called this move "God's move" (Chouard, 2019)
