Dr. Yacine Jernite currently leads the ML and Society team at Hugging Face, working on ML systems governance at the intersection of regulatory and technical tools. Their work to date has focused on language and multimodal models and data curation, documentation, and governance, including as co-organizer and data area chair for the BigScience workshop on large language models.
Our blog series with the Montreal AI Ethics Institute provides a good overview of the various governance efforts within the BigScience project. I also recommend the following paper on the workshop's organization. While the main BigScience project has been over since the beginning of 2023, it inspired the follow-up project BigCode - you can read more about governance and social questions within the project in its Governance Card.
