🤖 AI FOR BEGINNERS — What Is “Synthetic Data”?

Synthetic data is artificial data generated by AI that mimics real-world information without exposing actual user data.

Example:
• A hospital wants to train an AI model
• Real patient records contain sensitive information
• AI generates realistic replacement datasets
• Researchers train models without exposing private records

Why companies care:
✔ Better privacy protection
✔ Faster AI training
✔ Easier compliance with regulations
✔ Lower risk of data leaks

We’re shifting from:
“Train AI on real data” → “Train AI on realistic AI-generated data.”
