Privacy is not a value explicitly written into the US Constitution, but the essentials are there. As a democratic republic, we expect to have privacy as a lack of privacy is tied to tyranny. The founding of our nation was opposed to tyranny, at least ideologically, even though we have had some major issues with the subject. Overtime, we have been able to fix many, and the major issue du jour is privacy with respect to machine learning. So, what is PII, and why is it so important to the future of machine learning?
