The Role of Machine Learning in Enhancing Anonymization

Machine learning algorithms can enhance anonymization techniques by identifying potential privacy risks in datasets and optimizing the anonymization process to mitigate these risks while maintaining data utility. For example, machine learning models can be trained to detect patterns of information that could lead to re-identification and recommend more effective anonymization strategies. However, the use of machine learning in anonymization also introduces complexities, such as the risk of the models themselves becoming vectors for data leakage.
