Data Privacy

データプライバシー

As an ML engineer, I see firsthand how data powers the systems we build — and how easily the people behind that data can be forgotten. Data privacy isn't just a compliance checkbox. It's a question of respect.

Every model trained, every pipeline deployed, every feature engineered starts with someone's information. I believe we have a responsibility to treat that data with care — to minimize collection, to be transparent about usage, and to give people meaningful control over their own information.

Things I care about

  • ▹Data minimization — collect only what you need
  • ▹Transparency in ML systems and training data provenance
  • ▹Right to deletion and meaningful user consent
  • ▹Privacy-preserving ML techniques (federated learning, differential privacy)
  • ▹Fighting the normalization of surveillance capitalism

More thoughts on this topic coming soon in the blog section. This is something I want to write more about.
