Description: Willingness to share refers to customers’ readiness to provide their local data or model updates in a federated learning system. This concept is fundamental in the context of federated learning, where multiple devices or entities collaborate to train artificial intelligence models without the need to centralize data. Willingness to share involves a delicate balance between the necessity to improve machine learning models and concerns regarding data privacy. Users must feel secure that their data will not be misused and that their privacy will be upheld. This willingness can be influenced by factors such as trust in the platform managing federated learning, the perceived benefits they will gain from sharing their data, and clarity on how their data will be handled and protected. In an environment where privacy is increasingly valued, fostering a high willingness to share is crucial for the success of federated learning initiatives, as without the active collaboration of users, the quality and effectiveness of the trained models may be compromised.
