Algorithmic consent: Why informed consent matters in an age of Artificial Intelligence

Some time back, I had a doctor's appointment which I booked via an app. On reaching the center, which was run by a well-known fitness platform, I was told that they would collect my vitals (pulse, temperate, heart rate, and blood pressure, among others) before I could meet the doctor. I was also asked to sign a printed copy of terms and conditions, which read that they could share any and all information collected with any third parties. Additionally, when asked about the privacy policy, I was told that it was not available. This experience points to few of the many problems that exist within the idea of informed user/consumer consent, as shown above.
