There is a part of Deep Learning research (Differential Privacy) which focuses on making sure an algorithm cannot leak information about the training set, and this is a rigorous concept, you can quantify how much privacy-preserving a model is, and there are methods to make a model "private" (at the cost of performance I think for now)


Differential Privacy only proves that it cannot leak a certain amount of information about individual samples of the training set. This only guarantees the input is not leaked exactly back, any composition of the training set is valid, although in image generation this usually means a very distorted image.

An example of DP in image generation (using GANs): https://par.nsf.gov/servlets/purl/10283631
