Recent Assessment Shows Want of Transparency of AI Models

A recent transparency index evaluating 10 foundational AI models has sounded a clarion call for increased disclosure in the AI industry. Researchers from Stanford, MIT, and Princeton contend that without greater transparency on the inner workings, training data, and consequences of advanced AI tools, understanding and mitigating the associated risks will remain elusive. Self-regulation has proven inadequate, as leading companies have grown more secretive due to competitive and safety reasons. The researchers argue that prioritizing transparency should be a central focus of AI legislation, emphasizing the urgency of making AI development more comprehensible and accountable.
