Wilson Sonsini partner Jodi Daniel will moderate a congressional briefing hosted by the Alliance for Health Policy, Health Data Privacy in the AI Era: Navigating Federal and State Protections and Emerging Risks, on Thursday, October 22, 2026, from 12:00 to 1:30 p.m. ET in Room SD-106 of the Dirksen Senate Office Building in Washington, DC.

The briefing will give congressional staff a practical understanding of what health data is protected, which federal and state rules apply, who is responsible, and where gaps remain. Panelists will connect existing privacy frameworks, including HIPAA and HITECH, to how AI is being used today. They will address emerging risks around inference, reidentification, and consumer health data, and examine how state privacy and AI laws are evolving alongside federal protections.

Jodi will be joined by:

• Kev Coleman, Director, Health Care AI Initiative, Paragon Health Institute
• Grace Cordovano, Ph.D., BCPA, Founder, Enlightening Results, and Co-Founder, Unblock Health
