What I'm Reading: AI, Mental Health, and Amazon

Aiberry is also confident of the accuracy of its health assessment, with the form-based processes and AI-powered technology it is using. “We’ve compared our models to the ‘gold standard’ and I’m happy to say that as of today, we are equivalent in accuracy to those standards,” says Auslander. “Ultimately, the forms are the forms and they have a glass ceiling. They won’t be more accurate than they are today. But our technology can be as we feed more data and we tweak our models.”

Aiberry as a mental health assessment company which uses AI to better screen clients for depression.
They use Amazon Cloud Services for their hosting.
The idea of Amazon working with a company that specializes in assessing people (Aiberry) is concerning to me.
Assessing essentially involves reading people, and if you can read one aspect of a person, you can read others.
I'm not saying Amazon is getting into the mental health assessment business; they are simply the host. It's similar to asking your local library to reserve a study room. The room belongs to the library, but you can use it and its services while you're there.
That being said, I assume Amazon and Aiberry are selling their data to each other and using the data to train their AI models. And I don't want Amazon peering into my head or understanding my distinct neuroses.
