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

Delete the AI and restart the training from the original sources minus the information it should not have learned in the first place.

And if they claim "this is more complicated than that" you know their process is f-ed up.

    You're right, this is a way to solve this issue. It's just not economically feasible to retrain your model from scratch every time. It takes a lot of money to do it and they will push back.

    Then AI cannot exist in a world where security still matters.
