Defining Open Source AI

Rejected

Session Description

Open Source has demonstrated the benefit of removing barriers to studying, using, modifying, and sharing software. We need to expand these freedoms to artificial intelligence as well, to ensure AI systems are accessible, reliable, and transparent. This is the goal of the Open Source Initiative's Open Source AI Definition. At this event you will learn about the definition's current version and about the global co-design process used to create it.
