A new research paper explores the privacy risks associated with synthetic face datasets, which are often used to mitigate privacy concerns in biometric recognition. The study demonstrates a dataset-level membership inference attack that can identify the specific synthetic dataset used to train a face recognizer and, in over half of cases, the real dataset that trained the generator. These findings highlight that synthetic data can retain traces of its real-world training data, necessitating stronger leakage mitigation strategies for privacy-preserving deployments. AI
