Abstract

The rise of data-driven businesses poses a number of significant challenges for contemporary organisations. These include legal and ethical considerations arising from the use of personal data, the growing challenges of information security, and the difficulty managing the volume of data generated in business transactions of different kinds. The exponential growth of data continues unabated with global data volumes reaching 181 zettabytes by 2025, and with 90% of the world’s data generated in the last two years alone. This massive growth can be mainly attributed to data gathered by Internet of Things (IoT) and related sensory devices, in addition to data generated through the human use of digital tools and applications. Given this abundance of real-world data, in what context could synthetic data be necessary? This paper highlights the growing organisational use of synthetic data and explores where and how it can be optimally used. It examines the ethical aspects of synthetic data usage, the need to garner public perception and acceptance, and the key aspects of traceability, accountability and risk mitigation.
合成数据
数据驱动型业务的兴起给当代企业带来了一系列重大挑战。这些挑战包括使用个人数据所带来的法律和道德方面的考虑、日益严峻的信息安全挑战,以及管理不同类型业务交易中产生的大量数据所面临的困难。数据的指数级增长势头有增无减,到 2025 年,全球数据量将达到 181 ZB,仅过去两年就产生了全球 90% 的数据。这一巨大增长主要归功于物联网(IoT)和相关传感设备收集的数据,以及人类使用数字工具和应用程序产生的数据。鉴于现实世界数据如此丰富,在什么情况下需要合成数据呢?本文重点介绍了机构对合成数据越来越多的使用,并探讨了在什么情况下以及如何优化使用合成数据。本文探讨了合成数据使用的道德问题、获得公众认知和认可的必要性,以及可追溯性、问责制和风险缓解等关键问题。
