Alek<p>Interesting data from a new edition of the Foundation Model Transaprency Index - collected six months after the initial index was released.</p><p>Overall, there's big improvement, with average score jumping from 37 to 58 point (out of a 100). That's a lot!</p><p>The interesting fact is that researchers contacted developers and solicited data - interactions count.</p><p>More importantly, there is little improvement, and little overall transparency in a category that researchers describe as "upstream": on data, labour and compute that goes into training.

The concept of mass digitization of books, including to support text and data mining, of which AI is a subset, is not new. But AI training is newly of the zeitgeist, and its transformative use makes questions about how we digitize, preserve, and make accessible knowledge and cultural heritage salient in a distinct way.</p><p>As such, efforts to build a books data commons need not start from scratch; there is much to glean from studying and engaging existing and previous efforts. Those learnings might inform substantive decisions about how to build a books data commons for AI training. For instance, looking at the design decisions of HathiTrust may inform how the technical infrastructure and data management practices for AI training might be designed, as well as how to address challenges to building a comprehensive, diverse, and useful corpus. In addition, learnings might inform the process by which we get to a books data commons — for example, illustrating ways to attend to the interests of those likely to be impacted by the dataset’s development." <a href="https://openfuture.pubpub.org/pub/towards-a-book-data-commons-for-ai-training/release/1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">openfuture.pubpub.org/pub/towa</span><span class="invisible">rds-a-book-data-commons-for-ai-training/release/1</span></a></p>

Alek<p>In a month (7-8 December) I will be speaking at a conference on data governance and AI, organized in Washington, DC by the Digital Trade and Data Governance Hub. I am excited about this for two reasons:</p><p>first of all, we need to connect the policy debates on data governance and AI governance. The space of AI development offers new opportunities to develop, at scale, commons-based approaches that have been much theorized and advocated for, but not yet implemented.</p><p>and secondly, I am a deep believer in dialogue between the US and the EU. US is leading in terms of AI development itself, while EU will most probably be the first country to innovate in terms of AI regulation.</p><p>Please consider joining, either in-person or remotely (it's a hybrid event).</p><p><a href="https://101010.pl/tags/aicommons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>aicommons</span></a> <a href="https://101010.pl/tags/datacommons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>datacommons</span></a> <a href="https://101010.pl/tags/datagovernance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>datagovernance</span></a> <a href="https://101010.pl/tags/ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ai</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/events/datagovernanceintheageofgenerat7127306901125521408/comments/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">linkedin.com/events/datagovern</span><span class="invisible">anceintheageofgenerat7127306901125521408/comments/</span></a></p>
