Health data is emerging as a key battleground in the global fight to control the vast amounts of potentially sensitive information needed to develop new artificial intelligence technologies.<\/p>\n

The French government made that clear last week, when it said it wanted to move control of an effort to centralize the country\u2019s health data project away from the American tech giant Microsoft and into the hands of a French or European platform.<\/p>\n

Health data is also at the center of a debate about a proposed takeover by Google of the wearable health tech company FitBit. The acquisition is currently being scrutinized by the European Commission.<\/p>\n

The attention to health data underscores the increasing politicization of questions about who owns private information about European consumers, after the European Court of Justice struck down a framework for sharing data between the European Union and the United States known as the Privacy Shield.<\/p>\n

It also comes as governments around the world race to develop new artificial intelligence technology \u2014 and grapple with how to regulate it. The EU is set to present rules on AI early next year, and must confront a risk inherent to rule-making: making regulation that quickly becomes obsolete.<\/p>\n

As a national representative told a recent POLITICO roundtable discussion, referring to the rules: \u201cWhat is a good rule today, may not be relevant for tomorrow\u2019s problems.\u201d<\/p>\n

Data Hub hubbub<\/h3>\n

Until recently, Paris had entrusted its health data project to Microsoft. Launched in March 2019, the Health Data Hub was designed to centralize data from France\u2019s vast health system and optimize it for use by researchers.<\/p>\n

But on October 8, France\u2019s junior digital minister, C\u00e9dric O, said he wanted to shift the health data held by the Seattle-based tech giant onto French or European platforms.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are working with [Health Minister] Olivier V\u00e9ran, after the thunderous cancellation of the Privacy Shield, to transfer the Health Data Hub to French or European platforms,\u201d C\u00e9dric O told a Senate hearing.<\/p>\n

A day later, local media reported<\/a> that France\u2019s data protection regulator, the CNIL, had sought a court order to stop the Microsoft project.<\/p>\n

In its submission to the court, the CNIL pointed to the EU court ruling from July, saying France should avoid parking data with companies that are likely to be subject to U.S. snooping laws.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe most effective solution is to entrust data storage to companies that are not subject to United States law,\u201d the regulator\u2019s submission reads.<\/p>\n

Microsoft has responded by saying the French health data is physically stored in Europe in accordance with France\u2019s Health Data Hosting certification and the General Data Protection Regulation.<\/p>\n

France\u2019s Council of State court said on Wednesday the contract with Microsoft should not be suspended.<\/p>\n

But the U.S. company\u2019s pleas come against a backdrop of increasingly protectionist rhetoric around European data and tech, especially from France.<\/p>\n

Google\u2019s interest in Fitbit has also attracted criticism over concerns that it would undermine the privacy of European citizens.<\/p>\n

In September, 17 top competition economists \u2014 including Tommaso Valleti, Thibaud Verg\u00e9 and Gregory Crawford, former chief economists of the EU\u2019s competition department, the French competition authority and the U.S. Federal Communications Commission \u2014 called on the Commission<\/a> to block the merger.<\/p>\n

\u201cBlocking the merger does not solve all problems related to health data, but it avoids amplifying already existing problems,\u201d the economists wrote.<\/p>\n

Tracing app spat<\/h3>\n

Apps designed to track and trace coronavirus contacts are another case in point.<\/p>\n

While many EU countries adopted a model created by Google Read More \u2013 Source<\/a><\/p>\n
