IAPP AIGP Question Answer

You are the chief privacy officer of a medical research company that would like to collect and use sensitive data about cancer patients, such as their names, addresses, race and ethnic origin, medical histories, insurance claims, pharmaceutical prescriptions, eating and drinking habits and physical activity.

The company will use this sensitive data to build an Al algorithm that will spot common attributes that will help predict if seemingly healthy people are more likely to get cancer. However, the company is unable to obtain consent from enough patients to sufficiently collect the minimum data to train its model.

Which of the following solutions would most efficiently balance privacy concerns with the lack of available data during the testing phase?

Deploy the current model and recalibrate it over time with more data.

Extend the model to multi-modal ingestion with text and images.

Utilize synthetic data to offset the lack of patient data.

Refocus the algorithm to patients without cancer.
