Exploring the synergies and threats of artificial intelligence in the information privacy domain, the focus is on synthetic data (SD) as a form of background knowledge (BK) that can compromise privacy in data publishing scenarios. A novel taxonomy of BK that includes AI-generated data is proposed, demonstrating how it can lead to various kinds of privacy breaches, such as re-identification, sensitive attribute disclosure, and group privacy disclosure. Experiments are conducted on a real-life benchmark dataset using a state-of-the-art AI model to generate SD, showing that SD can pose serious risks to individual privacy when carefully crafted and used by adversaries. In realtime processing paradigms this method may face some challenges such as the highly customized implementation of libraries needed for computing statistics and visualizations of query answers for robust analysis without jeopardizing user’s privacy. To overcome the challenges in real-time processing paradigms, the algorithm can use stream anonymization methods or online learning techniques to anonymize data in an incremental and adaptive manner
