Apple researchers fix privacy leak in AI training

Apple researchers have identified a privacy vulnerability in the training of private AI models. They demonstrated that observable batch sizes can compromise the privacy guarantees of DP-SGD (Differentially Private Stochastic Gradient Descent). To address this, the researchers have proposed a new mechanism using dummy points to restore the intended privacy. AI

IMPACT Highlights potential privacy risks in current AI training methods and offers a technical solution.
