AI training data transparency
Making information available about the data used to train an AI system.
Example
A provider publishes a summary of its training-data sources.
Why people use it
It helps people examine what kinds of material were used to teach AI.
What you'll hear
“What can we learn about its training sources?”
What this means for you
Check the level of disclosure rather than assuming complete collection of information visibility.
Can you control it?
Yes
Yes. Providers can publish descriptions of the material used for learning. Other users depend on what those providers make available.
Common questions
- Does a training-data summary reveal every individual item?
- Not necessarily. Summaries vary in detail and purpose.
- Does disclosure prove the material was used lawfully?
- No. Describing the sources and establishing the rights to use them are different questions.
- Can a broad summary hide important gaps?
- Yes. General categories may reveal little about particular languages, communities or subjects.
