Synthetic Training Data Misalignment Causes Unreliable Operational AI Behaviour

3/5Sector: OtherGeography: GlobalStage: DevelopIngested: —

Executive Summary

AI systems trained on synthetic data that insufficiently resembles real operational data fail to generalise, producing unreliable outputs in deployment. Boards face unquantified operational risk when synthetic data quality is not formally validated against live data distributions prior to system approval.
