How is company data anonymized before AI training?

By SourceX Editorial · Updated

Short answer

Company data is anonymized by removing or transforming identifiers: redacting names and contact details, replacing IDs with tokens, generalizing dates and locations, aggregating values, and blurring faces or altering voices. Results should be sampled and reviewed, since automated tools miss things.

Techniques

Redaction, tokenization, generalization, aggregation, media masking.

Anonymized vs. pseudonymized

Pseudonymized data can still be personal data under laws like GDPR.
