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.

    Along those lines, perhaps you put in a stipulation that you don’t have to toss the model if you instead give the person a significant sum in royalties. After all, if their data isn’t a lynchpin in the model, you didn’t need it in the first place, and if it is crucial, you should pay them accordingly.

    Punitive regulations seem to be the best way to make companies grow a sense of ethics.
