Researchers have identified a privacy vulnerability in multi-tenant Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems, specifically concerning account collusion. While these services typically guarantee differential privacy per account, the study reveals that coordinated collusion among multiple accounts can degrade this privacy at a rate proportional to the square root of the number of colluding accounts. To address this, a novel audit protocol has been developed that can assess the privacy of the retrieval-score channel in unmodified RAG deployments without exposing sensitive data. AI
