I was at a meeting last week discussing how AI models might be used to support archives for
efficiency, effectiveness, etc. while maintaining the requirements for those archives to provide
reliable and authentic records and maintain confidentiality of relevant record data elements.
Someone across the room indicated that they were going to federate models, not records themselves, so that you could effectively get results across multiple models without leaking content. I countered that the models were going to leak content, and they indicated that indeed federating models and not the content would not leak information.
If you disagree, we’ll meet in the corner during the break
So just before the next break, I indicated to all present that anybody who thought Federated
models would not leak content could meet me in the corner of the room and we would settle it. There was a general Oooo in the room as it sounded something like meeting me in the alley outside the bar.
