• Abstract summary: Powerful AI models have led to impressive leaps in performance across a wide range of tasks. Privacy concerns have led to a wealth of literature covering various privacy risks and vulnerabilities of AI models. We conduct a systematic review of these survey papers to provide a concise and usable overview of privacy risks in GPAIS.

• Abstract: The rise of powerful AI models, more formally $\textit{General-Purpose AI Systems}$ (GPAIS), has led to impressive leaps in performance across a wide range of tasks. At the same time, researchers and practitioners alike have raised a number of privacy concerns, resulting in a wealth of literature covering various privacy risks and vulnerabilities of AI models. Works surveying such risks provide differing focuses, leading to disparate sets of privacy risks with no clear unifying taxonomy. We conduct a systematic review of these survey papers to provide a concise and usable overview of privacy risks in GPAIS, as well as proposed mitigation strategies. The developed privacy framework strives to unify the identified privacy risks and mitigations at a technical level that is accessible to non-experts. This serves as the basis for a practitioner-focused interview study to assess technical stakeholder perceptions of privacy risks and mitigations in GPAIS.

  Recently, a new type of privacy attack, the model inversion attacks (MIAs), aims to extract sensitive features of private data for training. Despite the significance, there is a lack of systematic studies that provide a comprehensive overview and deeper insights into MIAs. This survey aims to summarize up-to-date MIA methods in both attacks and defenses.

  We argue that clearer assessments of risks and harms to users will be possible when we specialize the analysis to more concrete applications and their plausible users. We conduct a risk-oriented error analysis that could then inform the design of a future system to be deployed with lower risk of harm and better performance.

  Intelligent agents powered by large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated substantial promise in autonomously conducting experiments and facilitating scientific discoveries across various disciplines. While their capabilities are promising, these agents also introduce novel vulnerabilities that demand careful consideration for safety. This paper conducts a thorough examination of vulnerabilities in LLM-based agents within scientific domains, shedding light on potential risks associated with their misuse and emphasizing the need for safety measures.

  Privacy risk assessments have been touted as an objective, principled way to encourage organizations to implement privacy-by-design. Existing guidelines and methods remain vague, and there is little empirical evidence on privacy harms. We highlight the limitations and pitfalls of what is essentially a utilitarian and technocratic approach.
