A.I.’s un-learning problem: Researchers say it’s virtually impossible to make an A.I. model ‘forget’ the things it learns from private user data - eviltoast
As it turns out, it’s impossible to remove a user’s data from a trained A.I. model. Deleting the model entirely is also difficult—and there’s little regulation to enforce either option.

I’m rather curious to see how the EU’s privacy laws are going to handle this.

    Actually it is also impossible to ask people to forget. This is something we share with AI

      Yes, but only by chance.

      Human brains can’t forget because human brains don’t operate that way. LLMs can’t forget because they don’t know information to begin with, at least not in the same sense that humans do.
