A trio of scientists from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill recently published preprint artificial intelligence (AI) research showcasing how difficult it is to remove sensitive data from large language models (LLMs) such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard.
According to the researchers' paper, the task of “deleting” information from LLMs is possible, but it’s just as difficult to verify the information has been removed as it is to actually remove it.
