Information Security in AI, and the Impact of LLMs on User’s Privacy: ex-Google Kritika Prakash | Tech My Breath Away # 3
Abbhinav (123 of AI), and co-host Debayan (Microsoft) are joined by AI reseacher Kritika Prakash, now pursing her Ph.D., at the University of Chicago.
The discussion revolves around the Kritika’s academic journey before and at IIIT-Hyderabad, differential privacy in AI, and her thoughts on the need for regulations to ensure a machine learning model's trustworthiness. We discuss the privacy issues in machine learning, including the challenges of protecting textual data and the impact of large language models on a user’s privacy.
KRITIKA REVEALS:
BEST MOMENTS:
“I did have exposure... where I can appreciate... lot of South Indian cultures.”
“Repeating an extra year: It felt like I am not really losing time... just learning more.”
“Talking to him [father]... understanding his perspective on things... He urged me... go for this risky thing.”
“I got do computer science but my first 3 semesters I was just so bored.”
“Discovered that there is this element of strategy & games that you can work with.”
“Explored various research areas before delving into differential privacy.”
“You might not have anything to hide. But, you do have something to protect”
“Adding noise during training reduce your accuracy; it actually helps improve generalization.”
“Real-world applications include healthcare research... where preserving individual [data]privacy is crucial.”
“Differential Privacy is not going cover all kinds of cases; we are looking at because this is the worst case guarantee.”
”The text itself doesn't have clear distinctions between people's data, and internet’s data; it's a huge mess just because that's how the text domain is.”
“Privacy will always be important no matter where the machine learning field is headed.”
