联邦学习需从隐私保护转向系统级可信,应对智能代理带来的信任挑战。
From Privacy to Trust in the Agentic Era: A Taxonomy of Challenges in Trustworthy Federated Learning Through the Lens of Trust Report 2.0
- 基于信任报告2.0构建可信联邦学习的挑战分类体系。
- 提出跨需求权衡与决策可解释的协同蓝图,支持动态治理。
- 在医疗肿瘤场景验证,适配高风险监管环境下的可信部署。
联邦学习(FL)实现隐私保护下的协作学习,但实际应用表明,仅靠隐私保障不足以维持高风险场景的信任。随着FL系统向具备大语言模型能力、动态自适应的智能体架构演进,可信性成为受自主决策、非平稳环境和多利益相关方治理共同影响的系统级问题。本文主张可信联邦学习(TFL),将信任视为持续维护的运行状态而非静态模型属性。基于信任报告2.0,提出一个以需求驱动的挑战分类体系,涵盖技术-组织-治理一体化(TAI)框架,并扩展至控制平面决策、智能体行为及整个联邦生命周期中的系统动态。在此诊断基础上,引入协调蓝图,用于结构化处理跨需求权衡、决策可解释性与治理对齐。为实现可证明的可信保障,信任报告2.0被具体化为轻量级、隐私保护的证据载体,在不集中原始数据的前提下呈现以决策为核心的可信证据。通过医疗健康领域作为压力测试场景,聚焦受监管压力与临床风险驱动的肿瘤学联邦学习,验证其适用性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Federated Learning (FL) enables privacy-preserving collaborative learning, yet deployments increasingly show that privacy guarantees alone do not sustain trust in high-risk settings. As FL systems move toward agentic AI, large language model-enabled, and dynamically adaptive architectures, trustworthiness becomes a system-level problem shaped by autonomous decision-making, non-stationary environments, and multi-stakeholder governance. We argue for Trustworthy FL (TFL), treating trust as a continuously maintained operating condition rather than a static model property. Through the lens of Trust Report 2.0, we propose a requirement-driven taxonomy of challenges grounded in TAI and explicitly extended to account for control-plane decisions, agency, and system dynamics across the federated lifecycle. Building on this diagnosis, we introduce a coordination blueprint that structures cross-requirement trade-offs, decision justification, and governance alignment in TFL systems. To operationalize assurance, Trust Report 2.0 is instantiated as a lightweight, privacy-preserving artifact that surfaces decision-centric trust evidence without centralizing raw data. We illustrate applicability via healthcare as a stress-test domain, focusing on oncology FL under regulatory pressure and clinical risk.
