Wow, the insight that machine unlearning is possible, imperfect, and unavoidabel really hits; it makes me wonder how we practicly ensure user rights given its approximate nature.

Hi @RainbowRoxy. Great points. I tried to find recent papers to address your questions and created the podcast. Here is a link: https://tanyamatanda.substack.com/p/auditing-machine-unlearning-for-privacy, and https://tanyamatanda.substack.com/p/a-cryptographic-framework-for-evaluating

Brilliant reframe on treating unlearning as insurance rather than a technical fix. I've seen orgs get bogged down in the 'perfect erasure' trap when what regulators really care about is documented intent and proportionate response. The comparison table between retraining vs fine-tuning is somethng I'll defintely use when explaining trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders.
