Model Card
What is Model Card?
A standardised document that describes a machine learning model's intended use, performance characteristics, evaluation results, ethical considerations, and known limitations. Model cards were proposed by Google researchers in 2019 and are now a common form of AI transparency documentation. Reviewing a model card before deployment helps organisations understand what they are working with.
Example in practice
A compliance team reviewing a proposed AI hiring tool would request its model card to understand what demographic groups it was evaluated on and where its known limitations lie before approving deployment.
