Good luck deleting someone's private info from a trained neural network – it's likely to bork the whole thing

Re: An interesting problem.

How can you even be sure that there is or is not information in the AI which is relevant to an individual? And even more worryingly how can you be certain that you fake data does not create relationships which seem to identify individuals. After all, if the data is realistic then it must mimic reality.

On another note, some 20 years ago when I was writing HMRC's personal review system they were using real data for test purposes. I thought this was a no no and so used some name generators I and a colleague had written for some simulations.

Being a bit fed up at the time I didn't use the English language names.

Some samples follow:

Brictius filius Æson

Galenus filius Artemidorus

Rogatus filius Luciferus

Antipater filius Alcinder

Isocrates filius Clophas

Bratislav Radovladov

Budig Gostomyslov

Rogovlad Vyshemirov

Chestimir Ostromirov

Perei Velislavov

Gradimir Izjaslavov

Volodimer Radimirov

Vladimir Miodragov

Samovlad Yarovidov

Sobeslav Svyatoslavov

Lyutomir Naislavov

Gorica Yasnomyslov

Sveinbiǫrn Þorvarðrsson

Gunnarr Þorfinnrsson

Ásbiǫrn Óleifrsson

Ásbiǫrn Ǫnundrsson

Hólmsteinn Oddrsson

Finnr Hrólfrsson

Ǫrnólfr Álfrsson

Oddr Geirmundrsson

Eysteinn Þorvaldrsson

Arnórr Eilífrsson

Ingialdr Steinólfrsson

Bárðr Kárisson

Watching the attempts at pronunciation was fun.
