Background

The authors highlight that due to secrecy in commercial AI labs, external stakeholders lack knowledge of the specific inputs and processes used to train frontier models. This opacity undermines efforts to evaluate safety and performance and complicates the design of appropriate regulatory regimes, making transparency about training inputs a key unresolved need.

References

And because frontier models are now trained with considerable secrecy within private labs, we don't even know what goes into such models.
