Athough AI has great potential to help humans strategize beyond the limits of 86 billions neurons, it has many challenges including trust. Introducing the Foundation Model Transparency Index. Organizations investing in layering applications on these foundational models certainly need this.

Foundation models such as GPT-4 and Stable Diffusion 2 are the engines of generative AI. While the societal impact of foundation models is growing, transparency is on the decline, mirroring the opacity that has plagued past digital technologies like social media. How are these models trained and deployed? Once released, how do users actually use them? Who are the workers that build the datasets that these systems rely on, and how much are they paid? Transparency about these questions is important to keep companies accountable and understand the societal impact of foundation models.
