AI database tools can still leak sensitive data via aggregation

Even with an AI database tool designed for privacy, sensitive information can still be revealed through aggregation. Techniques like differencing, where a total is requested and then re-requested with a known individual excluded, can expose row-level facts. To prevent this, safer aggregation requires approved metrics, authenticated scope, minimum group sizes, complementary suppression for revealed cells, and controls for repeated queries. Additionally, models must avoid inferring suppressed data or presenting incomplete tables as complete. AI
