Synthetic Data Contamination: Risks of Model Collapse.
This academic report delves into the risks associated with synthetic data in AI, focusing on the potential for model collapse. It explores the dynamics of model degradation due to recursive feedback loops involving synthetic data and the empirical evidence for this phenomenon across different domains. The report outlines various detection and mitigation strategies to manage these risks, emphasizing the need for real data anchors and robust governance frameworks. Additionally, it discusses the ethical, legal, and governance implications of synthetic data usage in AI models.
