Brief
MIT Technology Review reports OpenAI is paying to generate biological datasets for training AI models, and a policy analyst proposed buying data from bankrupt biotech firms to access regulatory and safety records. The idea aims to supply medical AI with detailed biological information often held as trade secrets.
Why It Matters
Greater access to granular biological data could change how medical AI is developed and regulated, raising data‑use and privacy questions.
