AI systems that memorize and leak sensitive personal data or infer private information about individuals without their consent. Unexpected or unauthorized sharing of data and information can compromise user expectation of privacy, assist identity theft, or cause loss of confidential intellectual property.

Generative AI systems, similar to traditional machine learning methods, are considered a threat to privacy and data protection norms. A major concern is the intended extraction or inadvertent leakage of sensitive or private information from LLMs. To mitigate this risk, strategies such as sanitizing training data to remove sensitive information or employing synthetic data for training are proposed.(p. 6)
