AI Model Transparency

An AI Model Transparency is a model technical model transparency practice that provides visibility into AI model architectures, AI model training processes, AI model capabilitys, and AI model limitations.

• AKA: AI Model Openness, Machine Learning Model Transparency, Neural Network Transparency.
• Context:
  • It can typically reveal AI Model Architecture Details including AI model layer structure, AI model parameter count, and AI model component design.
  • It can typically disclose AI Model Training Information covering AI training datasets, AI training methodology, and AI training resource consumption.
  • It can typically document AI Model Performance Characteristics through AI benchmark results, AI accuracy metrics, and AI failure analysis.
  • It can typically expose AI Model Decision Processes via AI feature importance, AI attention mechanisms, and AI prediction confidence.
  • It can typically communicate AI Model Limitations including AI bias assessments, AI edge case behavior, and AI reliability boundary.
  • ...
  • It can often enable AI Model Reproducibility through shared AI model artifacts and AI training recipes.
  • It can often facilitate AI Model Comparison across different AI model implementations and AI model versions.
  • It can often support AI Model Debugging by exposing AI model internal states and AI model failure patterns.
  • It can often promote AI Model Trust through demonstrated AI model validation and AI model robustness tests.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Black-Box AI Model Transparency to being a Glass-Box AI Model Transparency, depending on its AI model interpretability level.
  • It can range from being a Partial AI Model Transparency to being a Complete AI Model Transparency, depending on its AI model disclosure extent.
  • It can range from being a Static AI Model Transparency to being a Dynamic AI Model Transparency, depending on its AI model monitoring frequency.
  • ...
  • It can be achieved through AI Model Documentation Standards like AI model cards and AI datasheets.
  • It can be enhanced via AI Model Visualization Tools displaying AI model behavior and AI model structure.
  • It can be validated using AI Model Audit Protocols verifying AI transparency claims.
  • It can be regulated by AI Model Disclosure Laws mandating specific AI transparency levels.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • AI Model Transparency Methods, such as:
    • AI Model Documentation Methods, such as:
      • AI Model Card providing standardized AI model specifications and AI model evaluations.
      • AI Datasheet for Datasets documenting AI training data characteristics and limitations.
      • AI Model Report detailing AI development processes and AI design decisions.
    • AI Model Interpretability Methods, such as:
      • SHAP Analysis explaining AI model predictions through AI feature contributions.
      • Attention Visualization showing AI model focus areas in AI input processing.
      • Concept Activation Vectors revealing AI model concept understanding.
  • AI Model Transparency Implementations, such as:
    • Hugging Face Model Hub providing open AI model repositorys with documentation.
    • Google Model Card Toolkit standardizing AI model transparency reports.
    • Meta AI Model Disclosures releasing AI model weights and AI training details.
  • AI Model Transparency Requirements, such as:
    • EU AI Act Model Documentation for high-risk AI model deployments.
    • FDA AI/ML Medical Device Transparency for healthcare AI models.
    • Financial AI Model Risk Management requiring AI model documentation.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • AI System Transparency, which covers broader system aspects beyond just AI models.
  • AI Output Explanation, which explains results without revealing AI model internals.
  • AI Marketing Claim, which describes capabilities without technical AI model details.
  • Proprietary AI Model, which maintains secrecy rather than provides AI model transparency.
