• Abstract: The European Union Artificial Intelligence Act mandates clear stakeholder responsibilities in developing and deploying machine learning applications to avoid substantial fines, prioritizing private and secure data processing with data remaining at its origin. Federated Learning (FL) enables the training of generative AI Models across data siloes, sharing only model parameters while improving data security. Since FL is a cooperative learning paradigm, clients and servers naturally share legal responsibility in the FL pipeline. Our work contributes to clarifying the roles of both parties, explains strategies for shifting responsibilities to the server operator, and points out open technical challenges that we must solve to improve FL's practical applicability under the EU AI Act.

  The intersection of the Foundation Model (FM) and Federated Learning (FL) provides mutual benefits. FL expands the availability of data for FMs and enables computation sharing, distributing the training process and reducing the burden on FL participants. On the other hand, FM, with its enormous size, pre-trained knowledge, and exceptional performance, serves as a robust starting point for FL.

  Federated learning (FL) is an emerging technique used to collaboratively train a global machine learning model. The main obstacle to FL's practical implementation is the Non-Independent and Identical (Non-IID) data distribution across users. We propose a method (ComFed) that enhances the whole training process on both the client and server sides.
