Machine Unlearning (Glossary)

Artificial intelligence Automation Big data and smart data Cybercrime and cybersecurity Digital transformation AI Glossary

The term machine unlearning is part of the topics of artificial intelligence, big data and smart data as well as cybercrime and cybersecurity.

Machine forgetting describes the ability of artificial intelligence (AI) and digital systems to "forget" specific information. This means that certain data - such as personal information - can be actively removed from an AI system without a trace, as if it had never existed.

An illustrative example: Imagine your personal data has been trained in an AI to improve an intelligent voice assistant. After a while, however, you want your data to be deleted completely. With machine forgetting, it is possible for the AI to completely forget your specific knowledge and data and no longer use it for its further decisions or recommendations.

Machine forgetting is particularly important for companies when it comes to data protection and compliance with legal requirements such as the GDPR. It helps to implement the "right to be forgotten" in AI systems and thus reliably protects the privacy of users.
