A lawsuit and whistleblower complaints allege that Mayo Clinic’s AI assistant MAYA had major privacy and accuracy issues.
- Reportedly, the team behind MAYA deleted unfavorable test results and misrepresented the system’s capabilities.
- One complaint says internal estimates put the error rate as high as 67%, while the team allegedly tried to hide that number.
- The whistleblower, Eto, says she was excluded from executive meetings in early 2025 and later told she was a “poor cultural fit.”
- She says she was offered a choice: resign or accept personnel-file changes that would hurt her future career.
