Excited to see our collaborative research with JPMorgan Chase on an AI unlearning algorithm spotlighted in news of Cockrell School of Engineering! Check out the article at OpenReview.

Key Points

• Unlearning for AI: We have created an algorithm that allows generative AI models to “unlearn” information. This is especially important for trustworthy and reliable GenAI models.
• Why it’s significant: This is a novel direction in AI research, which focuses on teaching AI systems to forget. This unlearning approach helps ensure AI doesn’t store potentially harmful or unnecessary data.
• How it works: The algorithm teaches the AI model to forget unwanted details, allowing for alterations to images while still maintaining the image’s core identity.
• Potential applications: This technology could be used to:
  • Remove sensitive information from images before sharing them.
  • Protect privacy
  • Combat the spread of misinformation or deepfakes
  • Avoid copyright infringement
