LLMs challenge the 'right to be forgotten' with data integration

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The concept of the "right to be forgotten" is facing significant challenges due to the nature of Large Language Models (LLMs). Unlike traditional data storage, information fed into LLMs becomes deeply integrated into the model's core, making it difficult to remove. Retraining an LLM to erase specific data is an extremely power-intensive process, potentially consuming more energy than entire towns, thus posing a major hurdle for privacy in the digital age. AI

IMPACT LLMs' deep data integration challenges traditional privacy rights, making data removal technically difficult and energy-intensive.
