"NHS staff have not consented to sharing their email addresses with Palantir staff, raising significant privacy concerns among health service employees."
"Rory Gibson, a resident doctor, expressed strong concerns, stating, 'I absolutely don't want my personal email and number to be accessible to someone who works for Palantir on the NHS, and might next month be working on systems for drone strikes.'"
"Palantir's association with AI-powered surveillance and war technology has led to questions about the ethics of its involvement in the UK public sector."
"NHS England states that the Federated Data Platform allows organizations to connect patient records, manage waiting lists, and personalize treatment more effectively."
Health service staff are alarmed that engineers from Palantir have been granted NHS email accounts, which provide access to a directory of 1.5 million staff. Palantir is working on the Federated Data Platform (FDP) for NHS England, which connects patient records across systems. While the use of NHS email accounts by private contractors is common, Palantir's controversial background raises ethical concerns. NHS staff have not consented to share their email addresses, and some express discomfort with the potential implications of Palantir's involvement in the NHS.
