Today in Privacy & AI Tooling - introducing a nifty new tool to examine where data goes in open-source apps on 🤗
HF Spaces have tons (100Ks!) of cool demos leveraging or examining AI systems - and because most of them are OSS we can see exactly how they handle user data 📚🔍
That requires actually reading the code though, which isn't always easy or quick! Good news: code LMs have gotten pretty good at automatic review, so we can offload some of the work - here I'm using Qwen/Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct to generate reports and it works pretty OK 🙌
The app works in three stages:
1. Download all code files
2. Use the Code LM to generate a detailed report pointing to code where data is transferred/(AI-)processed (screen 1)
3. Summarize the app's main functionality and data journeys (screen 2)
4. Build a Privacy TLDR with those inputs
It comes with a bunch of pre-reviewed apps/Spaces, great to see how many process data locally or through (private) HF endpoints 🤗
Note that this is a POC, lots of exciting work to do to make it more robust, so:
- try it: yjernite/space-privacy
- reach out to collab: yjernite/space-privacy
