An AI healthcare diagnostic tool requires large volumes of patient data, raising concerns about privacy...

The most effective strategy to protect sensitive patient data is to use synthetic data or anonymized datasets for model training. This reduces exposure of personally identifiable information while allowing the model to learn meaningful medical patterns.

AAIA emphasizes privacy-by-design, de-identification, and minimal use of raw personal data in high-risk sectors such as healthcare. Anonymization and synthetic data significantly reduce the risk of re-identification or breach-related harm.

Option A (encryption) protects data in transit but does not eliminate privacy risks. Option B is impractical because healthcare models require clinically relevant datasets, not public data. Option C increases data exposure, aggravating privacy risks.

Thus, using anonymized or synthetic data is the strongest privacy protection aligned with healthcare compliance principles.
