arXiv:2601.17360v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: An adversary observing a model's released prediction can infer sensitive attributes of the queried input, or even reconstruct representatives of the model's training data. The inference interface thus acts as a side channel for privacy leakage. We introduce Robust Privacy (RP), an inference-stage privacy notion inspired by certified robustness: if a model's prediction is provably invariant within a radius-R neighborhood around an input x with confidence at least $1-\alpha$, then x enjoys $(R,\alpha)$-Robust Privacy, under which we prove that
The increasing deployment of AI models across sensitive domains necessitates robust privacy guarantees, leading to research into new mechanisms for safeguarding data during inference.
This research introduces a quantifiable measure for privacy at the inference stage, offering a technical solution to potential data leakage and rebuilding trust in AI systems.
The concept of "Robust Privacy" provides a formal framework for certifying the privacy of AI models, shifting the focus from general privacy statements to provable guarantees during prediction.
