Editorial commentary · what to actually do about this on Monday
The concept
Synthetic data + AI governance for compliant AI deployment. Banking and public sector focus.
Why it matters
Data scarcity and privacy regulations make synthetic data essential for some use cases — particularly testing and edge-case coverage.
The hard parts
Synthetic data quality varies. Bad synthetic data poisons models in subtle, hard-to-detect ways.
Playbook moves
(1) Validate synthetic data against real holdouts. (2) Don't trust unvalidated synthetic data, especially for training. (3) Document the generation process for audit.
The surprise
Synthetic data is most valuable not for training but for *testing*. Edge cases that don't occur in real data can be synthesised to stress-test models. That's the underrated use case — and it solves problems training-set augmentation doesn't.
