Nathan Matias, and coauthors suggest that AI model cards - "short documents accompanying machine learning models that detail their intended use, performance, and limitations" - could help AI companies catch up to industry transparency policies on child safety. Their article, available on Tech Policy Press, ends with a call for industry practitioners, regulators, and civic society more broadly to come together to treat transparency as a baseline, not a burden.
