(Learfield) – A former Mayo Clinic research administrator has filed a federal whistleblower lawsuit alleging she was fired after raising concerns about the health system’s use of artificial intelligence.

Traci Tamiko Eto claims Mayo failed to follow federal safeguards designed to protect patient privacy and research integrity while expanding its use of AI.

The lawsuit also alleges she faced retaliation, including demotion and the elimination of her position, after reporting her concerns internally.

Mayo Clinic has not publicly responded to the allegations.
