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

"AI model unlearning" is the equivalent of saying "removing a specific feature from a compiled binary executable". So, yeah, basically not feasible.

But the solution is painfully easy: you remove the data from your training set (ie, the source code), and re-train your model (recompile the executable).

Yes, it may cost you a lot of time and money to accomplish this, but such are the consequences of breaking the law. Maybe be extra careful about obeying laws going forward, eh?

The issue is the ownership of the AI; if it were not ownable or instead owned by everyone, there wouldn't be an issue.

Ah yes, let's just quickly switch the mode of production in this industry, I'm sure that's going to happen.

I also don't want my data to be processed by the fully automated luxy gay space machine learning algorithms either.
