    A Survey on ChatGPT: AI-Generated Contents, Challenges, and Solutions

    Full text link
    With the widespread use of large artificial intelligence (AI) models such as ChatGPT, AI-generated content (AIGC) has garnered increasing attention and is leading a paradigm shift in content creation and knowledge representation. AIGC uses generative large AI algorithms to assist or replace humans in creating massive, high-quality, and human-like content at a faster pace and lower cost, based on user-provided prompts. Despite the recent significant progress in AIGC, security, privacy, ethical, and legal challenges still need to be addressed. This paper presents an in-depth survey of working principles, security and privacy threats, state-of-the-art solutions, and future challenges of the AIGC paradigm. Specifically, we first explore the enabling technologies, general architecture of AIGC, and discuss its working modes and key characteristics. Then, we investigate the taxonomy of security and privacy threats to AIGC and highlight the ethical and societal implications of GPT and AIGC technologies. Furthermore, we review the state-of-the-art AIGC watermarking approaches for regulatable AIGC paradigms regarding the AIGC model and its produced content. Finally, we identify future challenges and open research directions related to AIGC.Comment: 20 pages, 6 figures, 4 table

    Unleashing the Power of Edge-Cloud Generative AI in Mobile Networks: A Survey of AIGC Services

    Full text link
    Artificial Intelligence-Generated Content (AIGC) is an automated method for generating, manipulating, and modifying valuable and diverse data using AI algorithms creatively. This survey paper focuses on the deployment of AIGC applications, e.g., ChatGPT and Dall-E, at mobile edge networks, namely mobile AIGC networks, that provide personalized and customized AIGC services in real time while maintaining user privacy. We begin by introducing the background and fundamentals of generative models and the lifecycle of AIGC services at mobile AIGC networks, which includes data collection, training, finetuning, inference, and product management. We then discuss the collaborative cloud-edge-mobile infrastructure and technologies required to support AIGC services and enable users to access AIGC at mobile edge networks. Furthermore, we explore AIGCdriven creative applications and use cases for mobile AIGC networks. Additionally, we discuss the implementation, security, and privacy challenges of deploying mobile AIGC networks. Finally, we highlight some future research directions and open issues for the full realization of mobile AIGC networks

    Information forensics and security (IFS) is an active R&D area whose goal is to ensure that people use devices, data, and intellectual properties for authorized purposes and to facilitate the gathering of solid evidence to hold perpetrators accountable. For over a quarter century, since the 1990s, the IFS research area has grown tremendously to address the societal needs of the digital information era. The IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) has emerged as an important hub and leader in this area, and this article celebrates some landmark technical contributions. In particular, we highlight the major technological advances by the research community in some selected focus areas in the field during the past 25 years and present future trends

    Enabling Competitive Performance of Medical Imaging with Diffusion Model-generated Images without Privacy Leakage

    Full text link
    Deep learning methods have impacted almost every research field, demonstrating notable successes in medical imaging tasks such as denoising and super-resolution. However, the prerequisite for deep learning is data at scale, but data sharing is expensive yet at risk of privacy leakage. As cutting-edge AI generative models, diffusion models have now become dominant because of their rigorous foundation and unprecedented outcomes. Here we propose a latent diffusion approach for data synthesis without compromising patient privacy. In our exemplary case studies, we develop a latent diffusion model to generate medical CT, MRI and PET images using publicly available datasets. We demonstrate that state-of-the-art deep learning-based denoising/super-resolution networks can be trained on our synthetic data to achieve image quality equivalent to what the same network can achieve after being trained on the original data (the p values well exceeding the threshold of 0.05). In our advanced diffusion model, we specifically embed a safeguard mechanism to protect patient privacy effectively and efficiently. Consequently, every synthetic image is guaranteed to be different by a pre-specified threshold from the closest counterpart in the original patient dataset. Our approach allows privacy-proof public sharing of diverse big datasets for development of deep models, potentially enabling federated learning at the level of input data instead of local network weights.Comment: 30 pages, 3 figure

    When Foundation Model Meets Federated Learning: Motivations, Challenges, and Future Directions

    Full text link
    The intersection of the Foundation Model (FM) and Federated Learning (FL) provides mutual benefits, presents a unique opportunity to unlock new possibilities in AI research, and address critical challenges in AI and real-world applications. FL expands the availability of data for FMs and enables computation sharing, distributing the training process and reducing the burden on FL participants. It promotes collaborative FM development, democratizing the process and fostering inclusivity and innovation. On the other hand, FM, with its enormous size, pre-trained knowledge, and exceptional performance, serves as a robust starting point for FL, facilitating faster convergence and better performance under non-iid data. Additionally, leveraging FM to generate synthetic data enriches data diversity, reduces overfitting, and preserves privacy. By examining the interplay between FL and FM, this paper aims to deepen the understanding of their synergistic relationship, highlighting the motivations, challenges, and future directions. Through an exploration of the challenges faced by FL and FM individually and their interconnections, we aim to inspire future research directions that can further enhance both fields, driving advancements and propelling the development of privacy-preserving and scalable AI systems

    Autonomy and Intelligence in the Computing Continuum: Challenges, Enablers, and Future Directions for Orchestration

    Full text link
    Future AI applications require performance, reliability and privacy that the existing, cloud-dependant system architectures cannot provide. In this article, we study orchestration in the device-edge-cloud continuum, and focus on AI for edge, that is, the AI methods used in resource orchestration. We claim that to support the constantly growing requirements of intelligent applications in the device-edge-cloud computing continuum, resource orchestration needs to embrace edge AI and emphasize local autonomy and intelligence. To justify the claim, we provide a general definition for continuum orchestration, and look at how current and emerging orchestration paradigms are suitable for the computing continuum. We describe certain major emerging research themes that may affect future orchestration, and provide an early vision of an orchestration paradigm that embraces those research themes. Finally, we survey current key edge AI methods and look at how they may contribute into fulfilling the vision of future continuum orchestration.Comment: 50 pages, 8 figures (Revised content in all sections, added figures and new section
