Why AI Cannot Forget Genomic Data – Stanford Law School

‘The right to be forgotten is becoming increasingly difficult to enforce in practice for genomic data trained on Artificial Intelligence (AI) models. Once genomic data is used to train AI models, it becomes embedded in the model’s parameters. As these systems learn, they can enable the re-identification of individuals and the inference of health risks.[1] Even where valid consent exists, a model’s future inferences may exceed the original scope of consent or persist after the data subject’s lifetime.’
