...Okay? One in ten sampled individuals will be gay. You can do that. Does it really matter when you're resurrecting the dead?
Your own proposal is to only sample one, and call the inaccuracy "acausal trade," which isn't even necessary in this case. The AI is missing 100 bits. You're already admitting many-worlds. So the AI can simply draw those 100 bits out of quantum randomness, and in each Everett branch, there will be a different individual. The incorrect ones you could call "acausal travelers," even though you're just wrong. There will still be the "correct" individual, the exact descendant of this reality's instance, in one of the Everett branches. The fact that it is "correct" doesn't even matter, there is only ever "close enough," but the "correct" one is there.
I think that there is 3 option in case of incomplete information.
I suggest to choose variant 2. In this case everybody is happy. The subject is almost exactly resurrected in one of the universes. Each universe get a person which corresponds its conditions and do not get useless semi-copies of the subject.
