🔒 PII protection in GenAI is mission-critical. Unregulated use and poor data hygiene risk leaking sensitive info—and create massive liabilities for individuals and businesses. In some scenarios, sensitive data can't even leave the local environment to be processed in the cloud—think healthcare, legal, or government documents. 🤖 I've built a local-first PDF PII redactor proof of concept that runs entirely offline on your desktop using Microsoft Presidio AI, PyMuPDF, pdfplumber and Cursor’s AI coding assistant. What it demonstrates: • Detects a range of PII types (names, SSNs, credit cards, addresses) • Applies black box redactions • Works on scanned documents with OCR • Generates audit trails for review • Zero cloud dependencies Potential use cases: Exploring privacy workflows for legal, HR, healthcare, finance, and research documents. 💾 Want the source code?
