ChatGPT collects all the information you feed it. We learn why using non-private dummy data is more practical and less risky in most situations. We also go over how to create dummy data, so you feel empowered to make some when the time comes.

By the end of this session we hope you will:

  • understand the privacy risks inherent in LLMs like ChatGPT
  • know how to create dummy data suitable for your project

Each workshop focuses on a single topic with 15 minutes of teaching, followed by 15 minutes for questions, discussion, and practice. Register for other workshops in the series:
