Risks to privacy

"General- purpose AI models or systems can ‘leak’ information about individuals whose data was used in training. For future models trained on sensitive personal data like health or financial data, this may lead to particularly serious privacy leaks. General- purpose AI models could enhance privacy abuse. For instance, Large Language Models might facilitate more efficient and effective search for sensitive data (fo...

Risk profile

How this risk is described and categorized.

"General- purpose AI models or systems can ‘leak’ information about individuals whose data was used in training. For future models trained on sensitive personal data like health or financial data, this may lead to particularly serious privacy leaks. General- purpose AI models could enhance privacy abuse. For instance, Large Language Models might facilitate more efficient and effective search for sensitive data (for example, on internet text or in breached data leaks), and also enable users to infer sensitive information about individuals."
