While the pharma industry has openly embraced AI, there are still serious concerns related to the use of the technology with health data. Primarily, AI relies on collecting massive amounts of data in order to feed its algorithms. When it comes to patient-data, however, there are privacy concerns. When it comes to using AI in pharma, the main question is: can it be trusted with patient-data and will it respect privacy?
A HIPPA-compliant AI solution
DeepL, an AI-focused tech company, announced that it has an AI platform that is HIPPA compliant. This federal law requires organizations to keep sensitive medical information private and to store any related data in a secure location. If DeepL’s technology can maintain HIPPA compliance, this would be a big step forward in AI-adoption in healthcare.
In a press release, DeepL founder and CEO Jarek Kutylowski said, “We built DeepL's Language AI platform to be the most reliable and trusted translation solution for global businesses, delivering both exceptional quality and the security they need to operate with confidence. HIPAA compliance is an important milestone that reflects our commitment to helping our healthcare customers overcome language barriers while meeting the highest standards of privacy and compliance."
DeepL is becoming a leading name in the AI space. In April of this year, the company announced that it had been named to Forbes’ 2025 AI 50 List for the second year in a row. This list recognizes companies that Forbes believes are using the technology to solve real-world problems.

In a press release issued at the time, Kutylowski said, “Being named to the Forbes AI 50 list for the second year running is a huge honor. This recognition reflects the very real impact that DeepL's language AI platform is driving for businesses and professionals around the world - helping them scale and collaborate more effectively across languages and markets. It also underscores our commitment to staying ahead of the curve through constant innovation. We're proud to be a leader in Language AI and look forward to continuing to drive the category forward."
DeepL’s technology focuses on solving language-related problems. In May, the company released the results of a survey that suggested that the majority of US enterprises face daily challenges related to language barriers.
In a press release issued at the time, Kutylowski said, “Many US companies assume that English is enough for business communication, but that's a risky mindset – the reality is that only 18% of the world speaks English, and even within the US, over 60 million people speak a language other than English at home. Our latest research underscores the huge impact that underestimating language barriers can have on US enterprises: 69% of executives report that these barriers lead to unforeseen difficulties in daily operations, with a tangible negative impact on their expansion goals and bottom line. As the world becomes more connected, the scope and impact of these issues will only intensify."
The CEO continued, “With more than half (59%) of enterprises already using Language AI tools to address these barriers, and 96% planning to adopt them in the next few years, failing to embrace these technologies now means risking falling behind. Seamless multilingual communication is now a business imperative for any enterprise operating internationally or aiming to expand its global footprint.”
