USC Marshall researchers study ‘nutrition labels’ for AI

Researchers at USC Marshall's Neely Center for Ethical Leadership and Decision Making, working with MIT and UC Berkeley, launched ImpactBench, an open benchmark that measures AI models' impact on human well-being and presents the results as "nutrition labels" for AI. Ravi Iyer, managing director of the Neely Center and a researcher on the team, discussed the project's takeaways.

Article USC Marshall researchers study ‘nutrition labels’ for AI By Jadon Frank, Kai Assad, and Tammy Yang What if artificial intelligence AI models had nutrition labels that showed their potential benefits and drawbacks to our well-being? Researchers from USC Marshall’s Neely Center for Ethical Leadership and Decision Making partnered with researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of California, Berkeley to do just that. The project, called ImpactBench https://impactbench.media.mit.edu/nutrition , is an open benchmark that measures AI’s impact on human well-being. We sat down with Ravi Iyer, the managing director of the Neely Center and a researcher on the team, to discuss some of the project’s takeaways.
