When patient data becomes the raw material for AI, who actually governs it and for whose benefit? Mir Masud-Elias, Counsel, Arnold & Porter, and Mala Sahai, Senior Director, Intellectual Property and Legal Affairs, Gladstone Institutes, discuss the shift from data sharing as an administrative function to data licensing as a regulated risk transfer. They cover the multiple regulatory regimes (from state to federal to international); data types and classification risks; ownership, control, and governance; the three HIPAA pathways; core contract architecture; AI clauses, bias, validation, audit, and lifecycle risk; federated learning; patent versus trade secret strategy; and direct versus indirect monetization. Mir authored a Health Law Weekly article on this topic.
