These are published in papers, but for real-world products, they're competitive advantage. Why should we share them with anyone other than our customers?

Data for very specific narrow tasks like face recognition is published. How the capabilities are combined in a special sauce, not so much.
So yeah, going off what you said, all these people saying “don’t worry, nothing to worry about with AI” haven’t the slightest clue what AI is up to outside of whatever bubble they are in.
For example, can any AI expert tell me: what is the exact date when Target corporation crossed the threshold of being able to face match 20% of its customers across different stores with 20% accuracy? How about 50% (for both of the different numbers, to keep it simple). How about 80%? 90%?
That’s just one example. If you’re tempted to reply with insights about face recognition, that’s not the point. The point is more that these numbers for ANY real world AI task (not just face recognition) are generally not shared, much less explained in the real world, even if would be possible to do so in an academic setting.
