href=\"https:\/\/www.opendemocracy.net\/en\/under-pressure-uk-government-releases-nhs-covid-data-deals-big-tech\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">openDemocracy website<\/a>, the contracts describe how the arrangements between the NHS and Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and AI firms Faculty and Palantir (which subcontracts to AWS) will operate.<\/p>\n<p>Campaign groups Foxglove and openDemocracy, which brought the action, said that the documents show the tech firms were set to build data models for commercial purposes from NHS training data before being challenged.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"pullquote\" readability=\"10\">\n<p>The contracts show that the companies involved, including Faculty and Palantir, were originally granted intellectual property rights (including the creation of databases), and were allowed to train their models and profit off their unprecedented access to NHS data<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Significantly, the contracts show that the terms of at least one of the deals \u2013 AI firm Faculty \u2013 were changed after initial demands for transparency under the Freedom of Information Act,&#8221; the groups said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The contracts show that the companies involved, including Faculty and Palantir, were originally granted intellectual property rights (including the creation of databases), and were allowed to train their models and profit off their unprecedented access to NHS data.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, the government has not released a subsequent contract which it claimed solved the problem of data being exploited for private sector gain.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;openDemocracy and Foxglove are demanding its immediate release,&#8221; the pair said today.<\/p>\n<p>In May, a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2020\/05\/19\/covid19_nhs_data_store_open_letter\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">broad-based campaign group wrote<\/a> to UK health secretary Matt Hancock calling for greater openness in the government&#8217;s embrace of private-sector tech companies contracted to provide a data store and dashboards as part of the NHS response to the COVID-19 outbreak.<\/p>\n<p>The group \u2013 including Liberty, openDemocracy, Foxglove and Privacy International \u2013 said promises of openness about the role of multiple private-sector tech firms in handling the health data of millions of UK citizens had not been fulfilled.<\/p>\n<p>In March, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/healthtech.blog.gov.uk\/2020\/03\/28\/the-power-of-data-in-a-pandemic\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the government said it would develop a platform<\/a> designed to provide <a

London AI company Faculty, which worked on the Vote Leave Brexit referendum campaign.<\/p>\n<p>openDemocracy said that it hopes publishing the contracts would facilitate expert analysis of them and
