SURE
SURE (Synthetic Data: Utility, Regulatory compliance, and Ethical privacy) is spearheaded by Clearbox AI, aimed at addressing AI’s privacy challenges by developing an open-source library for auditing and improving the privacy and utility of synthetic data. SURE targets the financial and healthcare sectors, providing them with tools to manage data privacy without compromising on utility. Its user-friendly interface allows even those with minimal AI knowledge to evaluate and test anonymized and synthetic datasets, thereby democratizing secure and privacy-preserving data solutions. As AI’s role in the economy expands, SURE’s contribution towards a privacy-centric, open-source synthetic data library is crucial for responsible AI adoption across various industries.
- Motivation for the project: To address AI's privacy risks, including potential identification in anonymized data, by developing SURE, an open-source library focusing on evaluating Synthetic Data to preserve utility, privacy, and ensure regulatory compliance.
- Generic use case description: Enables users to evaluate synthetic datasets' privacy and utility, providing a tool for individuals with limited AI knowledge to test and preserve privacy without sacrificing data utility.
- Essential functionalities: Open source library with: User-Centric Privacy and Utility Controls and Insights: -Compliance Auditing and Transparency features.
- How these functionalities can be integrated within the software ecosystem: Through its Python SDK and dockerized format, SURE's library ensures interoperability, easy integration into various infrastructures, and supports transparent data governance in line with TRUSTCHAIN’s objectives.
- Gap being addressed: The privacy-utility conundrum in AI model training, where existing anonymization techniques compromise either privacy or data utility, necessitating a balanced approach through PETs and synthetic data.
- Expected benefits achieved with the novel technology building blocks: By enabling privacy-preserving data utility, SURE democratizes access to secure data solutions, supporting responsible AI adoption across sectors and enhancing TRUSTCHAIN’s data privacy goals.
- Potential demonstration scenario: Focus groups with fintech, financial organizations, and healthcare providers to validate SURE's library, showcasing its adaptability and effectiveness in ensuring data privacy and utility in AI applications.
