AI's Right to Erasure: Records vs. Model Parameters

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The right to erasure for personal data presents a complex challenge when applied to trained AI models, as the data exists in two distinct forms: discrete records and diffused model parameters. While records like conversations or documents can be deleted, removing the influence of personal data from a model's weights is significantly more difficult and is an active area of research. To address this, developers are advised to engineer systems that prevent personal data from influencing model weights in the first place, such as avoiding fine-tuning on raw production traffic and prioritizing retrieval-augmented generation over fine-tuning.

    The Right to Erasure vs a Trained Model

    <p>Somebody asks you to delete their data. Your database can do that. The question that stops the room is whether a model that was trained on their data can, and the honest answer is that this is unresolved — but it is unresolved in a way you can usually engineer around.</p> <p>T…
