Anna Yoo-Jeong Ha, Wenxin Ding, Stanley Wu, Shawn Shan, Haitao Zheng, Ben Y. Zhao
To Appear: Proceedings of USENIX Security Symposium,
Baltimore MD, August 2026.
We're working on camera-ready version. Will post here when done.

In terms of research, there is much more work in the pipelines, including a big study of AI music on consumer platforms that should raise quite a few eyebrows. That's coming early in 2026.

Model provenance tool distinguishes models trained from scratch from those that are "fine tuned" from existing models, and identifies any such "parent models." We will releasing this in coming months & distribute to folks in CA and IL legislative groups. Paper to be presented in Baltimore, Aug2026.
