They discuss how, by using AI, synthetic datasets can be generated from real patient data. They talk about how synthetic datasets are similar to real datasets, but how individual privacy is protected. They explore how synthetic data generation technology is being used to advance important health research while minimizing privacy risks, and they cover practical examples of uses. They also discuss how regulators can play a role to increase awareness and responsible adoption.
