Artificial intelligence researchers promise a revolution in medical affairs: personalized comparisons of treatment effectiveness, rapid processing of data, and new insights in the drug and device fields (both for development and prescribing). Growing attention to the social determinants of health also portends new insights on the ways that our social lives, housing, transport, eating and drinking habits, and sleeping patterns affect our health. However, like the pharmakon of critical theory, data analysis here is not merely cure, but poison: a way of identifying the vulnerable, subjecting them to old and new forms of discrimination.Revisiting my 2013 article “Grand Bargains for Big Data,” I will explore the commercial practices and public values that imperil fair health data practices. The pursuit of health data justice will entail important new restrictions on the collection, analysis, and use of data by those outside the health care system.<br>
