The National Science Foundation Division of Computer and Network Systems awarded The University of Tulsa $500,787 on October 1, 2026, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to develop machine unlearning methods for generative AI models. The project establishes formal criteria for removing data influences and harmful concepts from pretrained models, addressing regulatory compliance and ethical concerns around private user data, copyrighted material, and inappropriate content in systems like GPT and Stable Diffusion. Research focuses on foundational mechanisms of forgetting in diffusion models and large language models, informed by information theory and causal inference. The work introduces a novel task of dismantling high-level AI capabilities inspired by Alzheimer's disease research, offering an approach to steer future superintelligent systems. The project translates theoretical advances into practical unlearning algorithms deployable in real-world systems including e-commerce and finance, while monitoring whether deleted knowledge re-emerges over time. Performance occurs in Tulsa, Oklahoma, over the period October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2029. This is assistance type Project Grant.
