Anonymization

Domain: Safety & Ethics

🎯 Motivation

Removing personally identifiable information from data before using it for training.

πŸ“‹ Concrete Example

Before training: β€˜Alice Smith, 16, Hong Kong, likes Python.’ After anonymization: β€˜Student A, ~16, Asia, likes coding.’ Identity removed, useful patterns kept.

πŸ”— Analogy

Removing name tags from uniforms before donating - the new owner does not know who wore it. Anonymization removes identity from data.
