GIFT: Gradient-aware Immunization of diffusion models against malicious Fine-Tuning with safe concepts retention
We present \textbf{GIFT}: a \textbf{G}radient-aware \textbf{I}mmunization technique to defend diffusion models against malicious \textbf{F}ine-\textbf{T}uning while preserving their ability to generate safe content. Existing safety mechanisms like safety checkers are easily bypassed, and concept erasure methods fail under adversarial fine-tuning. GIFT addresses this by framing immunization as a bi-level optimization problem: the upper-level objective degrades the model's ability to represent ha…
