> Google had told employees who want health benefits in the new enrollment cycle that they must allow an AI tool from Nayya to access their personal data, or else they wouldn't be eligible for benefits for the coming year.

Jfc. That's pissing away a kind of trust you won't earn back by reversing the decision.

Is it bad that I am more surprised that this is a third party tool and not something that google is developing internally?

That sure seems like a gold mine of information for them to consume.

I'm sure they're selling their employees' data with the intention of buying the company they're selling it to if it becomes valuable.

And I'm also sure they're using the same data in parallel with their "partner".

I refused to believe this until I asked a few people inside. Evidently it is true. JFC!

"Agree to share private health data with third party or surrender your employer-provided health insurance"

Stay classy, Googie.
