Model cards and third-party evals are shown as bridges into public policy
The reply argues that the influence of work like Gender Shades, model cards, and third-party evaluation is larger than many people realize.
It says these efforts have had impact in:
- direct policy participation by community members,
- advocacy and civil-society spaces,
- corporate practice,
- and broader interfaces between computer science and public policy.
The main point is that evaluation and documentation work can materially shape how AI systems enter policy conversations and institutional decision-making.
