The Social Science Research Council  announces the launch of its newest program, the AI Disclosures Project, led by noted technology innovator Tim O’Reilly and economist Ilan Strauss. The AI Disclosures Project will work on developing best practices for firms’ disclosures about their uses of AI models, ensuring that stakeholders have access to consistent, accurate, and transparent information about how AI models are being developed and deployed.

The AI Disclosures Project focuses on addressing the potentially dangerous consequences for society’s safety and equity that might arise from how AI is commercialized. Through enhancing corporate transparency and disclosures, the AI Disclosures Project aims to ensure that economic incentives don’t lead corporations to ignore risks or otherwise harm users of their AI technology products.
