A.I.’s un-learning problem: Researchers say it’s virtually impossible to make an A.I. model ‘forget’ the things it learns from private user data
A.I.’s un-learning problem: Researchers say it’s virtually impossible to make an A.I. model ‘forget’ the things it learns from private user data
As it turns out, it’s impossible to remove a user’s data from a trained A.I. model. Deleting the model entirely is also difficult—and there’s little regulation to enforce either option.
I'm rather curious to see how the EU's privacy laws are going to handle this.

You're viewing a single thread.
Delete the AI and restart the training from the original sources minus the information it should not have learned in the first place.
And if they claim "this is more complicated than that" you know their process is f-ed up.
You're right, this is a way to solve this issue. It's just not economically feasible to retrain your model from scratch every time. It takes a lot of money to do it and they will push back.
Then AI cannot exist in a world where security still matters.
Privacy you mean?
They go hand-in-hand. You have no need for security without privacy. You cannot have privacy without security.
Why? That is certainly not obvious.
