After more than two years of collaboration, information gathering, global workshopping, testing, and an in-depth co-design process, we have an\u00a0Open Source AI Definition.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The purpose of version 1.0 is to establish a workable standard for developers, researchers, and educators to consider how they may design evaluations for AI systems\u2019 openness. The meaningful ability to fork and control their AI will foster permissionless, global innovation. It was important to drive a stake in the ground so everyone has something to work with. It\u2019s version 1.0, so going forward, the process allows for improvement, and that\u2019s exactly what will happen.<\/p>\n
Over 150 individuals were part of the OSAID forum, nearly 15K subscribers to the OSI newsletter were kept up-to-date with the latest news about the OSAID, 2M unique visitors to the OSI website were exposed to the OSAID process. There were 50+ co-design working group volunteers representing 29 countries, including participants from Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas.<\/p>\n
Future versions of OSAID will continue to be informed by the feedback we receive from various stakeholder communities. The fundamental principles and aim will not change, but, as our (collective) understanding of the technology improves and technology itself evolves, we might need to update to clarify or even change certain requirements. To enable this, the OSI\u00a0 Board voted to establish an AI sub-committee\u00a0 who will develop appropriate mechanisms for updating the OSAID in consultation with stakeholders. It will be fully formed in the months ahead.<\/p>\n
Please continue to stay involved, as diverse voices and experiences are required to ensure Open Source AI works\u00a0for the good of us all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
