Multimodal Unlearning Across Vision, Language, Video, and Audio: Survey of Methods, Datasets, and Benchmarks
Survey consolidates multimodal unlearning methods across vision, language, video, and audio—directly relevant as GDPR erasure requests and EU AI Act obligations hit organisations running foundation models.

arXiv:2607.07907v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: With the growing adoption of VLMs, DMs, LLMs, and AFMs, these multimodal foundation models can inadvertently encode sensitive, copyrighted, biased, or unsafe cross-modal associations that originate from their training data. Retraining after deletion requests or policy updates is often impractical, and targeted forgetting remains difficult because knowledge is distributed across shared representations. Multimodal unlearning addresses this challen
Editorial Analysis
Right-to-erasure obligations under GDPR extend to model-encoded data; understanding practical unlearning techniques is becoming a compliance necessity for AI-deploying enterprises.
