“PETITION TO PARLIAMENT
Hold a public inquiry into the use of defence-linked AI in the UK public sector
Created by Heiko Khoo

Those who favour a #US type health care system for the #UK would do well to read this article. The #USA spends nearly twice as much of its GDP on healthcare as 19 other developed nations selected for comparison, and yet its health outcomes and life expectancy are typically the worst or second worst.
