Term
Model Inversion
Definition
Model Inversion is a technique in AI security where sensitive information used in training a model is reconstructed by analyzing the model’s outputs. This method can expose private data inadvertently.
Where you’ll find it
Model Inversion appears in discussions and analyses about the security aspects of AI systems, especially during audits of machine learning models to assess data privacy risks.
Common use cases
- Assessing the security of AI systems to ensure they protect sensitive data.
- Conducting research in AI to explore vulnerabilities in data privacy.
- Improving model designs to prevent the leakage of confidential information.
Things to watch out for
- Risk of exposing sensitive or private data through the model’s outputs.
- Overdependence on external tools to identify potential inversions, which may not offer complete solutions or could introduce new vulnerabilities.
- Legal and ethical implications if sensitive data is revealed.
