Furthermore, it focuses on popular AI applications because they are more likely to have significant societal effects that merit research scrutiny and more likely to have the resources needed to build the infrastructure necessary to make usage data available to researchers. [...] Any effort to share AI use case information with researchers must balance the utility of the data to researchers against the individual privacy risks to users. [...] However, companies do information not share information about how people use their systems, in part to protect the privacy of their users and in part to prevent competitors from being able to use this information to their advantage. [...] Grounding AI Policy: Towards Researcher Access to AI Usage Data 25 Recommendations AI companies should build tools to allow users to donate their usage data to researchers AI companies should develop research APIs that allow users to donate their chat logs and other u. [...] Among the options for data donation, APIs have the potential to be the easiest for researchers to implement and the most privacy protective for users.
