The Open Source Initiative (OSI) released Open Source AI Definition (OSAID) 1.0 on Oct. 28, 2024, at the All Things Open conference. Creating it wasn’t easy. It took the OSI almost two years to create and set up the OSAID.
This week on The Business of Open Source, I spoke with , Executive Director of the , about the definition of open source and… the definition of open source AI.
The release of version 1.0 was announced today at All Things Open 2024, an industry conference focused on common issues of interest to the worldwide Open Source community. The OSAID offers a standard by which community-led, open and public evaluations will be conducted to validate whether or not an AI system can be deemed Open Source AI.
The Open Source Initiative (OSI) has officially released version 1.0 of its Open Source AI Definition (OSAID) on Oct. 28 at the 2024 All Things Open conference this week. It’s been a long slow journey to this significant milestone in the effort to establish a clear standard for open source artificial intelligence (AI).
Today at All Things Open, Open Source Initiative announced the release of the Open Source AI Definition, possibly paving the way for open source AI licensing.
The release of version 1.0 was announced today at All Things Open 2024, an industry conference focused on common issues of interest to the worldwide Open Source community.
One such particularly important initiative has been the work to define open source AI stewarded by the Open Source Initiative (OSI) with the involvement of a large number of stakeholders and experts. After a two year long process the Open Source AI Definition (OSAID) Version 1.0 was released on October 28.
The OSI finally makes a new definition for open source AI systems, encouraging organizations to do more instead of slapping the term “open source.”
The Open Source Initiative (OSI) today released its open source AI definition version 1.0 to clarify what constitutes open source AI. This gives the industry a standard by which to validate whether or not an AI system can be deemed Open Source AI.
The Open Source Initiative has just set a new international definition for AI that could throw a spanner in the works for tech companies.
“Arriving at today’s [open source AI definition] version 1.0 was a difficult journey, filled with new challenges for the OSI community,” Open Source Initiative Executive Director Stefano Maffulli said in a statement. “Despite this delicate process, filled with differing opinions and uncharted technical frontiers—and the occasional heated exchange—the results are aligned with the expectations set out at the start of this two-year process.
The Open Source AI Definition will provide a reference for determining whether an AI system is truly open source AI, OSI said.
