AI models have rapidly become the basis of an organization's core operation and repository of its intellectual property. In the case of an enterprise, models can be their very business model. In addition, with the costs of training generative AI systems potentially running into the millions or 10's of millions of dollars, there has been increasing interest in developing methods to prevent the extraction or theft of a trained model. Even when a model is hosted on a device controlled by the model's creator, it may be vulnerable to hackers through gaps in the model creator's security systems, and there is no technical protection against accidental leaks or malicious acts by employees. Companies must resort to legal protections only to protect their models from these leaks.We propose a quantum fingerprinting solution for securing trained generative models from hackers or from accidental or malicious leaks.This project will be led by ORCA Computing, who were formed in October 2019 as a spin-off from Professor Ian Walmsley's ultra-fast quantum optics group at the University of Oxford and is now based in West London with over 40 employees.

人工智能模型已迅速成为组织核心运营和知识产权存储库的基础。在企业的情况下，模型可以是他们的商业模型。此外，由于训练生成式人工智能系统的成本可能高达数百万或数千万美元，人们对开发防止提取或窃取训练模型的方法越来越感兴趣。即使模型托管在由模型创建者控制的设备上，它也可能容易受到黑客通过模型创建者的安全系统漏洞的攻击，并且没有针对意外泄漏或员工恶意行为的技术保护。公司必须诉诸法律的保护，以保护他们的模型免受这些泄漏。我们提出了一个量子指纹解决方案，以保护训练的生成模型免受黑客或意外或恶意泄漏。该项目将由ORCA计算，他们于2019年10月成立，是伊恩·沃姆斯利教授的超牛津大学的快速量子光学小组，现在总部设在西伦敦，拥有40多名员工。
