A new research paper explores the persistence of original information within AI models even after knowledge editing procedures. The study, conducted on GPT-2 XL using three distinct editing methods (ROME, GRACE, and constrained fine-tuning), found that the original facts remain decodable from the model's hidden states with high accuracy, even when the model behaviorally reflects the edited information. Notably, the GRACE editor, which modifies no base-model weights, still showed residual traces of the original fact, suggesting that editing primarily suppresses rather than erases knowledge. AI
IMPACT Suggests current knowledge editing techniques may not fully remove undesirable information, impacting AI safety and reliability.
