Differential Privacy
Domain: Safety & Ethics
🎯 Motivation
Adding mathematical noise to data so the AI learns patterns without memorizing any individual’s data.
📋 Concrete Example
With differential privacy, the AI learns ‘the average age is 25’ but cannot determine any specific person’s age. Patterns are preserved, individuals are protected.
🔗 Analogy
A blurred photo - you can see the general scene (patterns) but cannot identify faces (individuals). Differential privacy blurs data to protect individuals.
