Model Cards

What it is

Model cards are documentation that accompanies AI models, describing their capabilities, intended uses, limitations, training data, evaluation results, and ethical considerations. They're like nutrition labels for AI—standardised information to help users understand what they're working with.

Why it matters

Model cards promote transparency and informed use. Before using a model, check its model card to understand limitations, known biases, and appropriate applications. Good model cards help you avoid using a model for tasks it wasn't designed for or where it's known to fail.
