The report, called &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/crfm.stanford.edu\/fmti\/\">The Foundation Model Transparency Index<\/a>,&#8221; examined models (such as <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/information-technology\/2023\/03\/openai-announces-gpt-4-its-next-generation-ai-language-model\/\">GPT-4<\/a>) created by OpenAI, Google, Meta, Anthropic, and others. It aims to shed light on the data and human labor used in training the models, calling for increased disclosure from companies.<\/p>\n<p>Foundation models refer to AI systems trained on large datasets capable of performing tasks, from writing to generating images. They&#8217;ve become key to the rise of generative AI technology, particularly since the launch of <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/information-technology\/2022\/12\/openai-invites-everyone-to-test-new-ai-powered-chatbot-with-amusing-results\/\">OpenAI&#8217;s ChatGPT<\/a> in November 2022. As businesses and organizations increasingly incorporate these models into their operations, fine-tuning them for their own needs, the researchers argue that understanding their limitations and biases has become essential.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Less transparency makes it harder for other businesses to know if they can safely build applications that rely on commercial foundation models; for academics to rely on commercial foundation models for research; for policymakers to design meaningful policies to rein in this powerful technology; and for consumers to understand model limitations or seek redress for harms caused,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/hai.stanford.edu\/news\/introducing-foundation-model-transparency-index\">writes<\/a> Stanford in a news release.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1977869#p3\">Read 7 remaining paragraphs<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1977869&amp;comments=1\">Comments<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Ars Technica &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1977869\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stanford researchers challenge OpenAI, others on AI transparency in new report<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Enlarge (credit: Getty Images \/ Benj Edwards) On Wednesday, Stanford University researchers issued a report on major AI models and found them greatly lacking in transparency, reports Reuters.
