This. Plus the increasing amount of intransparent results. Training data is private, so it's impossible to even try to recreate results, validate methods, or find biases/failure cases.

This is dead right and very important. The data you train on is much more important than model architecture in terms of validation and compliance, and yet it’s a closely held secret. Producing or obtaining good data is a pain in the ass.

For this reason, EAI has made the data we are training on public. I can’t link to it because of anon policies at conferences, but if you look at our website I’m sure you can find a paper detailing it and a link to download it.
