     At the same time as announcing the AI action plan, the UK government is trying to pass the Data Use and Access Bill.

     ⚫ Data rights over solely automated decisions.

     ⚫ The power of the regulator (ICO) to enforce data protection law.

     Public trust is critical when using sensitive health data, as highlighted by issues with the NHS Covid tracking app.

     Our report revealed the harms and profiteering by private companies that resulted from the Information Commissioner's Office's failure to enforce data protection law.
