Large language models (LLMs), with their billions to trillions of parameters, excel in natural language processing, machine translation, dialog systems, and text summarization.

This paper analyzes existing privacy issues in LLMs, vital for both traditional and metaverse applications, and examines protection techniques across the entire life cycle of these models, from training to user deployment.
