New data shows how heavily the government relies on private companies for its riskiest AI systems.

For at least 25 safety or rights-impacting systems, agencies reported that “no documentation exists regarding maintenance, composition, quality, or intended use of the training and evaluation data” For more than 100 algorithms that can impact peopleâs safety and rights, the agency using the models didnât have access to source code.
