Does Unlearning Survive Collaboration? Robust Unlearning for Shared-Model LLM Teams

We find that collaboration weakens forgetting: final-answer evaluations miss recoverable evidence in team messages, including complementary clues supporting joint recovery.

Key points

  • LLM unlearning is essential for removing sensitive or unwanted knowledge while preserving useful capabilities.
  • As LLM teams are increasingly used to solve complex problems, forgetting must remain effective during collaboration.
  • Despite advances in forgetting effectiveness, efficiency, and robustness to relearning, team deployment remains underexplored.
  • To address this challenge, we propose Aggregation-Conditioned Unlearning (ACU).
