- D
Use pre-existing publicly available datasets to avoid the need for user consent.
- E
Provide users with clear and transparent information on how their data will be used.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, E
Explanation
Balancing data privacy and consent requires ensuring users are informed and agree to how their data is used, employing techniques like anonymization to protect their identities, and maintaining transparency. These steps address ethical concerns, regulatory requirements, and user trust, which are critical for the responsible development of generative AI systems.
- A. Correct.
Explicit user consent is a cornerstone of data privacy, ensuring that users are aware their data is being used and have actively agreed to it.
- B. Incorrect.
Indefinitely storing user data violates privacy best practices and creates unnecessary risks, such as data breaches or misuse.
- C. Correct.
Data anonymization is a key technique to balance the utility of the data for training while protecting user privacy by removing identifiable information.
- D. Incorrect.
Using pre-existing publicly available datasets does not necessarily eliminate the need for consent, as some datasets may have restrictions or ethical considerations tied to their use.
- E. Correct.
Providing transparency about data usage builds trust with users and aligns with global data privacy regulations, such as GDPR, which require clear communication about data handling.
