Open Source AI Definition Now Available
Version 1.0 of the Open Source AI Definition (OSAID) is now available.
The definition, which was developed through a year-long, global, community process led by the Open Source Initiative (OSI), defines an Open Source AI as “an AI system made available under terms and in a way that grant the freedoms to”:
- Use the system for any purpose and without having to ask for permission.
- Study how the system works and inspect its components.
- Modify the system for any purpose, including to change its output.
- Share the system for others to use with or without modifications, for any purpose.
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 announcement states.
“The new definition requires Open Source models to provide enough information about their training data so that a ‘skilled person can recreate a substantially equivalent system using the same or similar data,’ which goes further than what many proprietary or ostensibly Open Source models do today,” said Ayah Bdeir, who leads AI strategy at Mozilla.
