AMD "Cleaner Shader" Coming For GFX11.0.3 GPUs To Help Ensure User/App Isolation

Also I actually wonder if some AI can be used to help recognizing interesting patterns in said allocated memory.

As if using AI to detect patterns and then performing selective wiping would be any of more reliable, more efficient and faster than just zeroing everything…

What I talk about is to recognize interesting patterns to extract sensitive data for malevolent purpose, this is a tool for a spy, not a tool for someone protecting itself from spies. This is given as an example of what zeroing would protect against.

The idea is that a third party software (like a video game) can allocate many framebuffers and run heuristics on captured content, and when a match occurs, it can then exfiltrate the data from the victim's computer running the game to the spy's computer. Here is where AI may help the spy job, to reduce bandwidth of what is extracted by being trained in advance and then matching interesting patterns on the victim's computer by processing the video memory without exfiltrating the whole video memory.

I suspect this is:
a) a mitigation against a speculative route for data exfiltration that a big customer noticed and wanted to prevent before their LLM Secret Sauce leaked out;
b) the same, but before any such route was discovered, just to cover their asses
