Googleās AI Health Tool: Consent Optional, Data Coercion Mandatory
In a plot twist worthy of a tech thriller, Googleās October 2025 policy tried to strong-arm employees into sharing their most sensitive data ā from paychecks to social security numbers ā with Nayya, a New York-based AI startup backed by HR giants like Workday and ADP. Original decree: No opt-out, no health benefits. Cue employee outrage that showered Googleās internal message board 'Memegen' with memes calling this 'very dark' and 'coercive.' After Business Insider's exposĆ©, Google suddenly remembered consent matters, revised the policy, and promised health benefits wonāt depend on playing AI guinea pig. Nayya, meanwhile, pledges HIPAA-covered data love and no shady sales, which is basically corporate therapy for medical data anxiety. Welcome to the wild West of workplace AI in 2025, where choosing to share or not can be as treacherous as debating if robots deserve healthcare.
