Sources: 11. Developments: 2. Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have identified a privacy vulnerability regarding on-device artificial intelligence on Android devices. The study reveals that deleting AI-driven chat conversations may not permanently erase all data traces from a phone’s working memory. To demonstrate this, the team developed a forensic tool named ORISA. In experimental tests using applications such as ChatterUI and a fictional assistant called Project Note Keeper, researchers provided AI models with fictitious information and then deleted the sessions. While the live sessions were limited by memory windows, the ORISA tool successfully recovered traces of 26 out of 100 original items, which allowed for the reconstruction of functional, interactive sessions. The research, validated across various Android applications and AI models, highlights significant implications for both digital forensics and user privacy, as local processing does not guarantee the complete data erasure users may expect. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-29: Cybersecurity risks regarding ChatGPT account theft and data recovery Experts warn of data exposure risks from ChatGPT account theft, while Georgia Tech researchers reveal a tool capable of recovering deleted AI chat fragments from mobile device memory. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/cybersecurity-risks-regarding-chatgpt-account-theft-and-data-recovery ### 2026-10-26: Georgia Tech researchers develop ORISA tool to recover deleted AI chats Georgia Tech researchers created ORISA, a tool that recovers deleted on-device AI chat fragments from Android memory, raising both forensic opportunities and privacy concerns. 7 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/android-ai-privacy-concerns-as-researchers-recover-deleted-chat-data --- Cite as: Georgia Tech research on AI chat data recovery.
