The Nuffield Council on Bioethics (NCOB), working in partnership with the Ada Lovelace Institute has published a report warning of the risks to population health and people’s privacy if the NHS was to roll out AI-powered genomic health prediction (AIGHP) technology too soon.
Through mapping existing ethical guidance available to those working in UK-based genomic research and healthcare, we have identified gaps in guidance that need addressing in a coordinated way.
