The Open Source Initiative (OSI) has launched the Open Source AI Definition (OSAID) v1.0, establishing a standard for what constitutes an open source AI system. This initiative, developed over a year with input from over 25 organizations, aims to facilitate collaboration among AI practitioners. The definition was unveiled at the All Things Open 2024 conference and is designed to ensure transparency and accessibility in AI development.
The OSAID outlines four essential freedoms for open source AI systems, including the ability to use, study, modify, and share the system. While the definition is a significant step forward, concerns remain regarding data restrictions and potential misuse of open source AI technologies. The OSI is committed to refining this definition as the legal landscape evolves and more examples of its application emerge.
