This talk offers a deep dive into data privacy in language model (LM) applications, spotlighting the use of opaque prompts as a key strategy for safeguarding sensitive information. We explore how opaque prompts effectively sanitize user inputs by substituting sensitive data with non-identifiable placeholders, thereby preventing LMs from accessing personally identifiable information (PII). The discussion extends to the intricacies of implementing these prompts, highlighting the technical challenges in reliably masking PII and the need for customizable identification mechanisms. The talk also addresses the privacy concerns in LM training data, focusing on the challenges in anonymizing datasets and the implications for model accuracy and utility. This session aims to provide insights into advancing data protection methodologies within the realm of language models.
