What You Need to Know<\/h3>\n

Several recent class actions filed against Tempus AI, Inc., a health care technology company that combines AI with molecular and clinical data to develop precision medicine services, are the latest in a series of cases illustrating a fast-growing legal risk: the repurposing of genetic and clinical data \u2014 collected for diagnostic or treatment purposes \u2014 for artificial intelligence (AI) model training, analytics, and downstream commercialization following corporate acquisitions. At the same time, state genetic privacy regulation is expanding rapidly, with Utah and South Dakota being the most recent states to enact new statutes, and legislation advancing in several additional states. Organizations holding genetic datasets need to treat data governance as a core enterprise risk issue, not a downstream compliance matter.<\/p>\n

The Litigation Trend<\/h3>\n

The litigation has followed in the wake of Tempus AI\u2019s acquisition of Ambry Genetics Corporation, a genetic testing firm, in 2025. The complaint alleges that, as a result of the acquisition, Tempus AI used the class members\u2019 genetic testing information in ways that required notice and written authorization, and that their data was later disclosed through commercial life sciences relationships without adequate consent. The case reflects an accelerating focus by plaintiffs\u2019 lawyers on whether legacy consent language and de-identification practices and methodologies are legally adequate when sensitive health and genetic data is repurposed for AI training, analytics, and licensing following a corporate transaction.<\/p>\n

These lawsuits are not isolated events. They are a predictable consequence of a market in which data-rich health care and diagnostics companies are acquired precisely because of the value of their datasets \u2014 and in which acquirers often intend post-close uses that go well beyond the purposes for which that data was originally collected. The 23andMe bankruptcy is a recent high-profile…<\/p>\n
