Regarding tagging PRs with AI models used, this may leak details about which organization is using which AI tools and models etc to the external world (for example, external world may use that information for trading those tools providers stocks if a reputed organization is using them). Also, if an organization is using internal model not exposed to the external world yet, they may not be able to tag PRs to avoid revealing details.
