Harvard Health Licenses Medical Content to Microsoft for AI Training

Harvard Health Publishing (HHP), part of Harvard Medical School, has licensed its library of consumer health content to Microsoft to train Copilot, the company’s AI assistant. The data includes articles on disease prevention, nutrition and wellness, all reviewed by Harvard scientists and researchers. The goal is to enhance Copilot’s accuracy when responding to healthcare-related questions. Microsoft confirmed that it paid for the license.

The deal highlights a growing focus on using trusted medical sources to improve AI reliability. By leveraging peer-reviewed, clinically verified content, Microsoft aims to strengthen Copilot’s credibility in the sensitive domain of consumer health information. This license also makes content previously exclusive to HHP subscribers available to anyone who uses Microsoft Copilot.
