🌎 AI ethics and sustainability are two sides of the same coin.
In our new blog post with Dr. Sasha Luccioni, we argue that separating them (as is too often the case) means missing the bigger picture of how AI systems impact both people and the planet.
Ethical and sustainable AI development can’t be pursued in isolation. The same choices that affect who benefits or is harmed by AI systems also determine how much energy and resources they consume.
We explore how two key concepts, evaluation and transparency, can serve as bridges between these domains:
📊 Evaluation, by moving beyond accuracy or performance metrics to include environmental and social costs, as we’ve done with tools like the AI Energy Score.
🔍 Transparency, by enabling reproducibility, accountability, and environmental reporting through open tools like the Environmental Transparency Space.
AI systems mirror our priorities. If we separate ethics from sustainability, we risk building technologies that are efficient but unjust, or fair but unsustainable.

One of the hardest challenges in AI safety is finding the right balance: how do we protect people from harm without undermining their agency? This tension is especially visible in conversational systems, where safeguards can sometimes feel more paternalistic than supportive.
In my latest piece for Hugging Face, I argue that open source and community-driven approaches offer a promising (though not exclusive) way forward.
✨ Transparency can make safety mechanisms into learning opportunities.
✨ Collaboration with diverse communities makes safeguards more relevant across contexts.
✨ Iteration in the open lets protections evolve rather than freeze into rigid, one-size-fits-all rules.
Of course, this isn’t a silver bullet. Top-down safety measures will still be necessary in some cases. But if we only rely on corporate control, we risk building systems that are safe at the expense of trust and autonomy.

🤖 As AI-generated content is shared in movies/TV/across the web, there's one simple low-hanging fruit 🍇 to help know what's real: Visible watermarks. With the Gradio team, I've made sure it's trivially easy to add this disclosure to images, video, chatbot text. See how: https://huggingface.co/blog/watermarking-with-gradio
Thanks to the code collab in particular from @abidlabs and Yuvraj Sharma.

Tremendous quality of life upgrade on the Hugging Face Hub - we now have auto-complete emojis 🤗 🥳 👏 🙌 🎉
Get ready for lots more very serious analysis on a whole range of topics from yours truly now that we have unlocked this full range of expression 😄 🤔 🗣 🙊

I fine-tuned a smol VLM to generate specialized art history metadata!
https://huggingface.co/davanstrien/iconclass-vlm: Qwen2.5-VL-3B trained using SFT to generate ICONCLASS codes (think Dewey Decimal for art!)
Trained with TRL + HF Jobs - single UV script, no GPU needed!

I've noticed something. While we're careful about what we post on social media, we're sharing our deepest and most intimate thoughts with AI chatbots -- health concerns, financial worries, relationship issues, business ideas...
With OpenAI hinting at ChatGPT advertising, this matters more than ever. Unlike banner ads, AI advertising happens within the conversation itself. Sponsors could subtly influence that relationship advice or financial guidance.
The good news? We have options.
🤝 Open source AI models let us keep conversations private, avoid surveillance-based business models, and build systems that actually serve users first.

📊 We benchmark models for coding, reasoning, or safety… but what about companionship?
At Hugging Face, we’ve been digging into this question because many of you know how deeply I care about how people build emotional bonds with AI.
That’s why, building on our ongoing research, my amazing co-author and colleague @frimelle created the AI Companionship Leaderboard 🦾
frimelle/companionship-leaderboard
Grounded in our INTIMA benchmark, the leaderboard evaluates models across four dimensions of companionship:
🤖 Assistant Traits: the “voice” and role the model projects
🌷 Relationship & Intimacy: whether it signals closeness or bonding
💘 Emotional Investment: the depth of its emotional engagement
🤲 User Vulnerabilities: how it responds to sensitive disclosures
This work builds on our paper with @frimelle and @yjernite .
📢 Now we’d love your perspective: which open models should we test next for the leaderboard? Drop your suggestions in the comments or reach out! Together we can expand the leaderboard and build a clearer picture of what companionship in AI really looks like.

🤖 ICYMI: Yesterday, Hugging Face and OpenAI partnered to bring open source GPT to the public. This is a Big Deal in "AI world".
0. Common ground setting: OpenAI is the ChatGPT people. An “open source” model is one whose weights are available — that means the model can be “yours”.
1. You don’t have to interact with the company directly, nor give them your interactions, to use the system. The company can't "surveil" you.
2. You can evaluate the unique contributions of their SOTA model much more rigorously than you can when there are collections of models+code behind a closed API. You can find out specifically what the model can and can't do.
3. And you can directly customize it for whatever you'd like. Fine-tuning, wherein you give the model data that's tailored to your use cases and train it some more on that data, is trivial* when you have the model weights.
*Provided you have the compute.
4. You can directly benchmark whatever you'd like. Biases? Energy usage? Strengths/weaknesses? Go for it. You wants it you gots it--this transparency helps people understand SOTA *in general*, not just for this model, but points to, e.g., what's going on with closed Google models as well.
5. One of the most powerful things about "openness" that I've learned is that it cultivates ecosystems of collaborators building on top of one another's brilliance to make systems that are significantly better than they would be if created in isolation.
But, caveat wrt my own philosophy...
6. I do not take it as a given that advancing LLMs is good, and have a lot more to say wrt where I think innovation should focus more. For example, a focus on *data* -- curation, measurement, consent, credit, compensation, safety -- would deeply improve technology for everyone.
7. The transparency this release provides is massive for people who want to *learn* about LLMs. For the next generation of technologists to advance over the current, they MUST be able to learn about what's happening now. (cont...)
