We finally have an ‘official’ definition for open source AI
The Open Source Initiative (OSI) has released an 'official' definition for open source AI, aiming to provide a standard for determining if an AI model is truly open source.
Official Definition of Open Source AI
To be considered open source under the new definition, an AI model must provide enough information to substantially recreate it and disclose details about its training data.
Key Requirements for Open Source AI
The definition faces challenges around licensing of training data and copyright, and some argue it does not go far enough in ensuring true openness of AI models.
Challenges and Critiques of the Definition
The OSI has established a committee to monitor the definition's application and propose future updates, recognizing that this is an evolving area that will require continued collaboration.
