A new position paper argues that knowledge distillation, a technique used to create smaller, more efficient AI models from larger ones, needs to better account for the capabilities that are lost in the process. Current evaluation methods often focus only on task performance, overlooking losses in areas like uncertainty, safety, and privacy. The paper proposes a "Distillation Loss Statement" to report what was preserved, what was lost, and why the remaining losses are acceptable, aiming for more accountable distillation. AI
