Europe’s health AI push, responsible AI governance, and global health sharing all converge on synthetic data

The EU’s SYNTHIA project is developing synthetic healthcare data across modalities to accelerate AI innovation while addressing GDPR constraints and the need for quality, ethics, and regulatory clarity. Separately, a legal-focused analysis frames synthetic data as a core control for responsible AI strategy, reducing privacy and IP exposure while enabling “fairness by design.” NIH Fogarty spotlights synthetic data as a practical way to share data safely in low-resource global health settings.
