SYNTHETIC DATA

Synthetic data promises faster experimentation, better privacy protection and improved coverage of rare edge cases. But it also introduces new risks: bias amplification, loss of statistical richness and declining real-world performance when overused.

This white paper outlines:

  • What synthetic data is, and what it is not

  • Where synthetic data creates measurable value in AI development

  • Why synthetic data works best as augmentation, not substitution

  • How governance and human oversight ensure responsible application
