Overview

AI Data Privacy is the practice of ensuring that personal and sensitive data used to train and serve AI models is protected against unauthorized access, disclosure, or re-identification. Machine learning models can inadvertently "memorize" training data, creating unique privacy risks.

Core Principle: "The model should learn patterns, not people."

This skill provides comprehensive guidance on protecting data privacy throughout the AI/ML lifecycle.

Core Concepts & Rules

1. Core Principles

• Follow established patterns and conventions
• Maintain consistency across codebase
• Document decisions and trade-offs

2. Implementation Guidelines

• Start with the simplest viable solution
• Iterate based on feedback and requirements
• Test thoroughly before deployment

Inputs / Outputs / Contracts

• Inputs:
  • <e.g., env vars, request payload, file paths, schema>
• Entry Conditions:
  • <Pre-requisites: e.g., Repo initialized, DB running, specific branch checked out>
• Outputs:
  • <e.g., artifacts (PR diff, docs, tests, dashboard JSON)>
• Artifacts Required (Deliverables):
  • <e.g., Code Diff, Unit Tests, Migration Script, API Docs>
• Acceptance Evidence:
  • <e.g., Test Report (screenshot/log), Benchmark Result, Security Scan Report>
• Success Criteria:
  • <e.g., p95 < 300ms, coverage ≥ 80%>

Quick Start

Assumptions

• PII can be identified and removed
• Privacy techniques can be applied
• Team has capacity to implement privacy measures
• Compliance requirements are well-defined

Compatibility

• Works with any ML framework
• Compatible with all data formats
• Framework-agnostic approach
• Adaptable to different privacy requirements

Test Scenario Matrix

Technical Guardrails & Security Threat Model

1. Security & Privacy (Threat Model)

• Top Threats: Injection attacks, authentication bypass, data exposure

• Data Handling: Sanitize all user inputs to prevent Injection attacks. Never log raw PII
• Secrets Management: No hardcoded API keys. Use Env Vars/Secrets Manager
• Authorization: Validate user permissions before state changes

2. Performance & Resources

• Execution Efficiency: Consider time complexity for algorithms
• Memory Management: Use streams/pagination for large data
• Resource Cleanup: Close DB connections/file handlers in finally blocks

3. Architecture & Scalability

• Design Pattern: Follow SOLID principles, use Dependency Injection
• Modularity: Decouple logic from UI/Frameworks

4. Observability & Reliability

• Logging Standards: Structured JSON, include trace IDs request_id
• Metrics: Track error_rate, latency, queue_depth
• Error Handling: Standardized error codes, no bare except
• Observability Artifacts:
  • Log Fields: timestamp, level, message, request_id
  • Metrics: request_count, error_count, response_time
  • Dashboards/Alerts: High Error Rate > 5%

Agent Directives

1. Minimize data - Only collect what's necessary
2. Anonymize everything - Remove PII before training
3. Use privacy techniques - Apply DP, federated learning, etc.
4. Support unlearning - Handle deletion requests
5. Monitor for leaks - Detect and prevent data leakage

Definition of Done

AI data privacy implementation is complete when:

• Privacy risk assessment completed
• Data minimization implemented
• Anonymization techniques applied
• Privacy-preserving training implemented
• Unlearning procedures documented
• Prompt privacy measures in place
• Compliance frameworks followed
• Privacy documentation complete
• Team trained on privacy procedures
• Continuous monitoring in place

Anti-patterns

1. Training on raw PII - Never train on identifiable data
2. No anonymization - Always remove PII before training
3. Ignoring unlearning - Must support deletion requests
4. No monitoring - Can't detect privacy violations
5. Over-collecting - Collect more data than needed
