Asking Back: Interaction-Layer Antidistillation Watermarks

1. 1Implement interaction-layer antidistillation watermarks by wrapping the teacher model with a system prompt
2. 2Induce behavioral markers such as explicit follow-up questions or low-frequency variants
3. 3Audit the watermarks via black-box queries with a human-validated LLM-as-judge
4. 4Analyze the results to detect unauthorized knowledge distillation
5. 5Apply this technique to various LLM models and evaluate its effectiveness

AI engineers and researchers can benefit from this technique to protect their LLM models from unauthorized distillation, while data scientists and cybersecurity experts can apply this knowledge to develop more secure AI systems

💡 Interaction-layer antidistillation watermarks can effectively detect unauthorized knowledge distillation from LLM APIs by analyzing the teacher's interaction behavior
