Why synthetic data secretly launders bias

Know when made-up data truly helps, as in rule-based simulation, and when it quietly erases the rare cases that matter most. Picture a hiring tool, trained on a million fake resumes that copy old bias, rejecting a brilliant, non-traditional candidate with 99.9% confidence. • Stop expecting more fake rows to fix a skewed starting dataset, because volume adds no truth. • Treat data that looks too clean as a warning sign, not a reason to relax. • Avoid the privacy trap of assuming fake data can never expose a real person.
