Ben Winokur: data anonymization through AI-generated synthetic data

Oct 27, 2024

Can we leverage AI-generated synthetic data as a privacy-enhancing or data anonymization solution? How compatible is it with Data Clean Rooms? Will there be a path to effectively anonymize unstructured data?

Ben Winokur is the co-founder and CEO of Subsalt, the leading platform for anonymous synthetic data. Prior to Subsalt, Ben worked in a variety of legal, product, and operational roles at Passport, where he first encountered the problem Subsalt solves: privacy and security risks have made it too expensive and difficult to access, share, and analyze sensitive private data.
