Federated learning is a machine learning technique where a model is trained across multiple decentralized devices or servers holding local data samples, without exchanging the raw data itself—only model updates are shared and aggregated centrally. It was popularized by Google for improving predictive text on mobile keyboards while preserving user privacy, and is now used in healthcare, finance, and IoT settings where data privacy or regulatory constraints prevent centralizing sensitive data. ML engineers and privacy researchers use it to balance model performance with data protection.
