Forgetting What AI Has Seen

Enabling privacy through selective image unlearning in multimodal LLMs

Single Image Unlearning (SIU) enables multimodal large language models to forget specific visual concepts, offering a practical approach to implement the 'right to be forgotten' in AI systems.

  • Efficiently removes recognition of specific concepts without extensive retraining
  • Preserves overall model performance while eliminating targeted visual knowledge
  • Protects against membership inference and jailbreak attacks
  • Demonstrates effectiveness through comprehensive security evaluations

This research addresses critical privacy and security concerns by giving organizations a practical method to remove sensitive visual data from AI systems, helping comply with privacy regulations while maintaining model utility.
