Power to the Clients: Federated Learning in a Dictatorship Setting
Researchers identify a critical vulnerability in federated learning systems where malicious 'dictator clients' can erase other participants' contributions while preserving their own, compromising the collaborative training process. The study provides theoretical and empirical analysis of single and multiple dictator scenarios, revealing fundamental security weaknesses in decentralized machine learning architectures.
