Abstract
Federated Learning (FL) is a machine learning technique that enables multiple
entities to collaboratively learn a shared model without exchanging their local
data. Over the past decade, FL systems have achieved substantial progress,
scaling to millions of devices across various learning domains while offering
meaningful differential privacy (DP) guarantees. Production systems from
organizations like Google, Apple, and Meta demonstrate the real-world
applicability of FL. However, key challenges remain, including verifying
server-side DP guarantees and coordinating training across heterogeneous
devices, limiting broader adoption. Additionally, emerging trends such as large
(multi-modal) models and blurred lines between training, inference, and
personalization challenge traditional FL frameworks. In response, we propose a
redefined FL framework that prioritizes privacy principles rather than rigid
definitions. We also chart a path forward by leveraging trusted execution
environments and open-source ecosystems to address these challenges and
facilitate future advancements in FL.
