• Abstract: This paper details the privacy and security landscape in today's cloud ecosystem and identifies that there is a gap in addressing the risks introduced by machine learning models. As machine learning algorithms continue to evolve and find applications across diverse domains, the need to categorize and quantify privacy and security risks becomes increasingly critical. With the emerging trend of AI-as-a-Service (AIaaS), machine learned AI models (or ML models) are deployed on the cloud by model providers and used by model consumers. We first survey the AIaaS landscape to document the various kinds of liabilities that ML models, especially Deep Neural Networks pose and then introduce a taxonomy to bridge this gap by holistically examining the risks that creators and consumers of ML models are exposed to and their known defences till date. Such a structured approach will be beneficial for ML model providers to create robust solutions. Likewise, ML model consumers will find it valuable to evaluate such solutions and understand the implications of their engagement with such services. The proposed taxonomies provide a foundational basis for solutions in private, secure and robust ML, paving the way for more transparent and resilient AI systems.

  In this paper, we unveil a new vulnerability: the privacy backdoor attack. When a victim fine-tunes a backdoored model, their training data will be leaked at a significantly higher rate than if they had fine-tuned a typical model. Our findings highlight a critical privacy concern within the machine learning community and call for a reevaluation of safety protocols in the use of open-source pre-trained models.
