The Artificial Intelligence & Data Protection Conundrum – Part 2
In my previous article (Part 1) I outlined how new technologies such as smartphones, smartwatches, and other smart devices capture data about us and, with or without or knowledge, share this personal data with a myriad of different entities. This personal data is often times accumulated and compiled from various sources and analysed by very sophisticated Artificial Intelligence and machine learning systems in an effort to make specific decisions about us. I concluded that article with the question: “How is personal data that is derived and created from the assimilation and analysis using methods like machine learning treated by proposed legislation and what will the effects be for all of…

Great Prospects For TeleMedicine
Last year, I attended the annual Health Information Management Systems Conference in Orlando, Florida (HIMSS17).

Health Meet Technology
Health is by far one of the most important assets we can have as individuals. If we do not have good health, we pretty much have nothing. Mahatma Gandhi rightfully stated, “It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.” The prevalence of non-communicable diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure, and the effect they have had on the population not just in Jamaica but worldwide, signals to us that we need a revolution in health to arrest this problem. Without a properly organised and implemented health-care delivery system, there can be no true sustainable development of our country and its…

The Artificial Intelligence & Data Protection Conundrum – Part 1
If you have an iPhone, iPad, Android Phone or tablet, Fitbit, Apple watch, a Google Home or Alexa Device your personal data has probably been shared, by you in some cases without your knowledge with a myriad of business-related entities. Not only has your data been shared but sophisticated systems analyze this data to make decisions about you, which you then become a victim of.
