Legal Risks and Regulatory Frameworks for Synthetic Data in AI Large-Model Training

Siqi Yuan

Abstract


Synthetic data represents a critical solution for reconciling the need for personal information protection with data utilization in
artificial intelligence (AI) large-model training. However, its generation and application involve complex legal risks, such as systemic risks
arising from quality defects, limitations in privacy protection, the reinforcement and amplification of biases, and the potential for misuse.
To address these risks, a multidimensional regulatory framework is necessary, encompassing quality standards, algorithmic transparency,
traceability mechanisms, proactive safety protection, and accountability, aiming to strike a dynamic balance between technological innovation and risk mitigation.
