Medical LLMs show high memorization rates even after fine-tuning

A recent study published in Nature Machine Intelligence indicates that large language models used in medicine tend to memorize data more extensively than those in general domains. Up to 87% of this memorized content can remain even after fine-tuning processes. The research highlights potential implications for patient privacy and data security within healthcare applications of AI. AI
