Xi Jinping arrives in Washington September 24, prepared to discuss reviving a $6 billion-a-year trade in US liquefied natural gas, contingent on lifting a 15% Chinese tariff that has blocked American gas since Q1 2025.

This report examines how health and biopharmaceutical companies interact with the data components of the AI supply chain, and how a fractured global regulatory landscape shapes their ability to innovate responsibly. It maps seven data components, from training data to model weights, APIs, and SDKs, against real-world use cases spanning drug discovery, cancer diagnostics, and cross-border genomic research, explores fourteen exemplative regulatory regimes across the United States, the European Union, China, and India, and assesses the tensions, open questions, and policy recommendations that will shape the future of health data governance for corporations, researchers, and policymakers alike.
