Dubious collection practices have spurred crises in data transparency, authenticity, consent, privacy, representation, bias, copyright infringement, and the overall development of ethical and trustworthy AI systems. In response, AI regulation is emphasizing the need for training data transparency to understand AI model limitations. Based on a large-scale analysis of the AI training data landscape and existing solutions, we identify the missing infrastructure to facilitate responsible AI development practices. We explain why existing tools for data authenticity, consent, and documentation alone are unable to solve the core problems facing the AI community, and outline how policymakers, developers, and data creators can facilitate responsible AI development, through universal data provenance standards…(More)”.
