What is recorded here?
Analyzed environmental and financial costs, training-data and documentation risks, encoded bias, research opportunity costs and affected-community considerations in scaling language models.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The record is the exact four-author FAccT 2021 paper. It records a structured risk analysis and research argument, not an empirical proof that every language model behaves identically or a claim that all language-model outputs lack every form of meaning.
