AI training with synthetic data amplifies real data privacy risks, new research finds

By PulseAugur Editorial · [4 sources] ·

New research indicates that combining real and synthetic data for training AI models, a practice known as Real-Synthetic Mix-Training (RSMT), can inadvertently amplify privacy risks for the real data. Studies propose theoretical frameworks and methods like RSMixLeak to assess and mitigate these amplified privacy leakages. Additionally, a practical guide explores generating synthetic data with differential privacy (DP) to balance utility and strong privacy guarantees, aiming to increase trust and adoption of DP synthetic data approaches. AI

IMPACT Researchers are developing methods to mitigate privacy risks associated with synthetic data generation and training, aiming to increase trust in AI systems.
