Google Prioritizes Speed Over AI Safety Reports - Google is accelerating its AI model releases with Gemini 2.5 Pro, leading the industry in coding and math benchmarks. However, the company has not published safety reports for recent models, causing concerns about transparency and safety. Despite Google's commitment to public transparency and its history of pioneering model cards, newer releases like Gemini 2.0 Flash lack such documentation.
While Google claims these are experimental releases aimed at gathering feedback, the absence of safety reports challenges its promise to uphold responsible AI practices. This issue arises as regulatory pressures loom, threatening the company's position in responsible AI development.
