arXiv:2606.02101v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper proposes a method of creating synthetic data (SD) that will have two important advantages for the user compared to other methods currently available. The first is transparency; unlike other methods, the person in receipt of the SD will know which of the relationships between variables in the original data will be approximately maintained in the SD. The second is a guarantee that the SD is derived from information that has already been judged to be free of disclosure risk. This is achieved by first defining and calculating the margins
The rapid advancement and integration of AI across various sectors necessitate robust solutions for data privacy and utility, making safe synthetic data critical for innovation without compromising sensitive information.
A sophisticated reader should care because this method addresses a core tension between data utility for AI development and the imperative of privacy and disclosure risk, enabling broader and safer deployment of AI solutions.
The ability to generate transparent and verifiably safe synthetic data changes how organizations can share and utilize sensitive information for AI training and analysis, potentially unlocking new markets and applications.

- · Outmoded data pseudonymization techniques
Increased adoption of synthetic data could accelerate AI research and development across sectors by removing data access barriers.
This could lead to new regulatory frameworks and industry standards specifically for the generation and use of transparent and safe synthetic data.
The proliferation of high-quality synthetic data might reduce the competitive advantage of entities with exclusive access to large, sensitive real-world datasets.
