Creating and Managing AI Models

Important:

The GenAI Component Intelligence for AI Models feature is under Public Preview. Please contact OneTrust Support to request early access. For the generally available model creation flow, see Managing Models in AI Governance.

The GenAI Component Intelligence for AI Models in OneTrust AI Governance provides a guided way to create a new model from the library, starting with seeded third-party AI model information rather than a blank form. It helps you add model details faster, review model information before selection, and link the model to existing inventory records.

About responsible use metrics

Responsible use metrics help assess fairness and potential disparities in outcomes produced by AI models. There is no single, universally accepted metric for summarizing fairness as one overall score. Today, OneTrust collects Responsible use metrics and will continue to expand them over time to produce a Model Fairness report.

Responsible use metrics complement the quality, safety, and relevance metrics, as well as other evaluation metrics, imported from supported AI platforms. For more information about capturing and reviewing those metrics, see AI Governance Agent and Model Evaluation Metrics.



Field Metric
Description
Demographic parity difference

This measures the difference in outcomes between groups.

  • A score of 0 indicates perfect demographic parity, while higher scores indicate more disparity between groups.

  • A score of 0.15 suggests moderate disparity.

Demographic parity ratio

This is the ratio of outcomes between groups.

  • A ratio of 1 indicates perfect parity, while lower ratios indicate more disparity.

  • A ratio of 0.8 suggests moderate disparity.

Equalized odds difference

This measures the difference in false-positive and false-negative rates between groups.

  • A score of 0 is perfect, while higher scores indicate more unequal odds.

  • A score of 0.1 suggests a small level of unequal odds.

Equalized odds ratio

This is the ratio of false-positive and false-negative rates between groups.

  • A ratio of 1 is perfect, while lower ratios indicate more unequal odds.

  • A ratio of 0.7 indicates moderately unequal odds.

To create a model from the model library

  1. On the AI Governance menu, select Inventory > Models.

    The Models screen appears.

  2. Click the Add model button.

    The Model library modal appears.

  3. Click the Select button on the model card you want to use.

    The Add new model modal appears.

    You can also click the View details button to see more information about the selected model, including its capabilities, limitations, and safety and usage considerations.

    Note:

    To create a custom model instead, click the Create custom button on the Custom card, then complete the same steps in this procedure. Unlike a model selected from the model library, a custom model does not pre-fill the Provider and Model fields, so you must enter those values manually.

  4. Enter the unique name for your model. The Provider and Model fields identify the selected library model and are pre-filled for you.

    Add new model - add details
  5. Select Add and review additional details (optional) to enter additional details and context for the model.
