The speed at which new general purpose AI (GPAI) models are being developed is making it difficult for organizations to select which model to use for a given AI use case. While a model’s performance on task benchmarks, deployment model, and cost are primarily used, other factors, including the data sources, ethical design decisions, and regulatory risks of a model must be accounted for as well. These considerations cannot be inferred from a model’s performance on a benchmark, but are necessary to understand whether using a specific model is appropriate for a given task or legal to use within a jurisdiction.
