Are Neuro-Inspired Multi-Modal Vision-Language Models Resilient to Membership Inference Privacy Leakage?
arXiv:2511.20710v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In the age of agentic AI, the growing deployment of multi-modal models (MMs) has introduced new attack vectors that can leak sensitive training data in MMs, causing privacy leakage. This paper investigates a black-box privacy attack, i.e., membership inference attack (MIA) on multi-modal vision-language models (VLMs). State-of-the-art research analyzes privacy attacks primarily to unimodal AI-ML systems, while recent studies indicate MMs can also be vulnerable to privacy attacks. While researchers have demonstrated that biologically ins
The proliferation of advanced multi-modal AI models, especially in agentic AI contexts, necessitates immediate investigation into their inherent vulnerabilities regarding data privacy.
This research provides critical insights into the privacy risks of cutting-edge AI systems, directly impacting their trustworthiness and regulatory landscape as they become more ubiquitous.
The understanding of multi-modal model privacy is enhanced, potentially leading to more robust privacy-preserving AI development and deployment guidelines.
