If an AI model sees your raw PII before redacting it, the privacy boundary has already moved.The reason I chose deterministic redaction instead.

The author of the article is uncomfortable with AI-based redaction because the redaction model still needs to see the original data, which can compromise privacy. They propose a deterministic approach to PII detection and redaction, using validation and checksums to identify and remove sensitive information.
