Using data from failed businesses as training data: what could go wrong?
geetee•17m ago
Ah, rare data hunters.

I would love to see a rider from the courts mandating a significant third party test by privacy researchers to see if the deidentified data can be reconstructed from models post training.

The article mentions: a 3rd party company will scrub the data amd Google will promise not to attempt to reconstruct PII from the data.

That is good enough for me. If they violate their promise to the judge, the court can lay the hammer down on them

Good, they never break promises, so it should be fine. It also implies you can reconstruct personal information from the data. Perfect.
