6、 between Britains National Health Service (NHS) and DeepMind must start by acknowledging that both sides mean well. DeepMind is one of the leading artificial intelligence (AI) companies in the world. The potential of this work applied to healthcare is very great, but it could also lead to further co
7、ncentration of power in the tech giants. It Is against that background that the information commissioner, Elizabeth Denham, has issued her damning verdict against the Royal Free hospital trust under the NHS, which handed over to DeepMind the records of 1.6 million patients In 2015 on the basis of a
8、vague agreement which took far too little account of the patients rights and their expectations of privacy.DeepMind has almost apologized. The NHS trust has mended its ways. Further arrangements- and there may be many-between the NHS and DeepMind will be carefully scrutinized to ensure that all nece
9、ssary permissions have been asked of patients and all unnecessary data has been cleaned. There are lessons about informed patient consent to learn. But privacy is not the only angle in this case and not even the most important. Ms. Denham chose to concentrate the blame on the NHS trust, since under
10、existing law it “controlled” the data and DeepMind merely “processed it. But this distinction misses the point that it is processing and aggregation, not the mere possession of bits, that gives the data value.The great question is who should benefit from the analysis of all the data that our lives n
11、ow generate. Privacy law builds on the concept of damage to an individual from identifiable knowledge about them. That misses the way the surveillance economy works. The data of an individual there gains its value only when it is compared with the data of countless millions more.The use of privacy l
12、aw to curb the tech giants in this instance feels slightly maladapted. This practice does not address the real worry. It is not enough to say that the algorithms DeepMind develops will benefit patients and save lives. What matters is that they will belong to a private monopoly which developed them u
13、sing public resources. If software promises to save lives on the scale that dugs now can, big data may be expected to behave as a big pharm has done. We are still at the beginning of this revolution and small choices now may turn out to have gigantic consequences later. A long struggle will be neede

Ms. Denhams report is a welcome start.1.Wha is true of the agreement between the NHS and DeepMind ?A It caused conflicts among tech giants.B It failed to pay due attention to patients rights.C It fell short of the latters expectationsD It put both sides into

Ask for an opinionFive ways to make conversation with anyoneConversations are links, which means when you
19、have a conversation with a new person a link gets formed and every conversation you have after that moment will strengthen the link.You meet new people every day: the grocery worker, the cab driver, new people at work or the security guard at the door. Simply starting a conversation with them will f
20、orm a link.Here are five simple ways that you can make the first move and start a conversation with strangers.41、_Suppose you are in a room with someone you dont know and something within you says “I want to talk with this person”-this is something that mostly happens with all of us. You wanted to s
21、ay something-the first word but it just wont come out, it feels like it is stuck somewhere. I know the feeling and here is my advice: just get it out.Just think: what is the worst that could happen? They wont talk with you? Well, they are not talking with you now!I truly believe that once you get th
22、at first word out everything else will just flow. So keep it simple: “Hi”,“Hey” or “Hello”- do the best you can to gather all of the enthusiasm and energy you can , put on a big smile and say “Hi”.42、_It is a problem all of us face; you have limited time with the person that you want to talk with an
23、d you want to make this talk memorable.Honestly, if we got stuck in the result of “hi”, “hello”, ”how are you?” and “what is going on ?”,you will fail to give the initial jolt to the conversation that can make it so memorable.So dont be afraid to ask more personal questions. Trust me, youll be surpr
24、ised to see how much people are willing to share if you just ask.43、_When you meet a person for the first time, make an effort to find the things which you and that person have in common so that you can build the conversation from that point. When you start conversation from there and then move outw
25、ards, youll find all of a sudden that the conversation becomes a lot easier.44、_Imagine you are pouring your heart out to someone and they are just busy on their phone, and if you ask for their attention you get the response “I can multitask”.So when someone tries to communicate with you, just be in
26、 that communication wholeheartedly. Mike eye contact. Trust me, eye contact is where all the magic happens. When you make eye contact, you can feel the conversation.45、_You all came into a conversation where you first met the person, but after some time you may have met again and have forgotten their name. Isnt that awkward!So, remember the little details of the people you met or
