Article Abstract
Machine unlearning (MU) is often analyzed in terms of how it can facilitate the "right to be forgotten." In this commentary, we show that MU can support the OECD's five principles for trustworthy AI, which are influencing AI development and regulation worldwide. This makes it a promising tool to translate AI principles into practice. We also argue that the implementation of MU is not without ethical risks. To address these concerns and amplify the positive impact of MU, we offer policy recommendations across six categories to encourage the research and uptake of this potentially highly influential new technology.

Machine unlearning (MU) aims to eliminate information that has been learned from specific training data, namely forgetting data, from a pretrained model. Currently, the mainstream of relabeling-based MU methods involves modifying the forgetting data with incorrect labels and subsequently fine-tuning the model. While learning such incorrect information can indeed remove knowledge, the process is quite unnatural as the unlearning process undesirably reinforces the incorrect information and leads to over-forgetting.

In response to the growing concerns regarding data privacy, many countries and organizations have implemented corresponding laws and regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), to safeguard users' data privacy. Among these, the Right to Be Forgotten holds particular significance, signifying the necessity for data to be forgotten from improper use. Recently, researchers have integrated the concept of the Right to Be Forgotten into the field of machine learning, focusing on the unlearning of data from machine learning models.

Clinicians aim to provide treatments that will result in the best outcome for each patient. Ideally, treatment decisions are based on evidence from randomised clinical trials. Randomised trials conventionally report an aggregated difference in outcomes between patients in each group, known as an average treatment effect.

However, few studies take into consideration the security concerns that may exist in the unlearning process. In this article, we propose the first unlearning attack dubbed unlearning attack for regression learning (UnAR) to deliberately influence the predictive behavior of the target sample against regression learning models.
