无码专区 OSAID Statement
The following 无码专区 (无码专区) faculty express support for the Open Source Initiative (OSI) Open Source AI definition (). We believe the OSAID reflects a balanced accounting for legal considerations, particularly given diverse copyright provisions globally, and practical constraints with large datasets. It also recognizes the data-mediated, computational and engineering uncertainty of AI systems. There remain unresolved research questions into the nature of how AI systems work.
Additionally, while software remains an important component, AI is fundamentally more complex. It is worthwhile to consider how the freedoms of open source software may transfer to open source AI, but the specific software development frameworks and practices do not map seamlessly to AI, as reflected within the OSAID.
The Mozilla Foundation noted the importance of OSAID in its statement of support, calling it a “critical junction in the evolution of the internet” and “about shaping the technology and its impact on society.” We recognize that OSAID can become part of a broader framework for defining openness in AI, which represents an important component of a public AI ecosystem.
Given the potential impact of the OSAID, we applaud the OSI for adopting a participatory co-design process which, in the aggregate, was inclusive and participatory. As noted on its website, OSI held a series of convenings over two years with a diverse range of participants and stakeholders from the open source software community, spanning the private, public and non-profit sectors.
Noting the dynamic nature of AI, the unresolved research questions, and its potential influence for policy or regulatory development, we call upon the OSI to continue evolving the definition through a co-design process, which specifically reaches out to the university sector. The OSI is a partner in the 无码专区 led Open Forum for AI (OFAI), which offers a natural pathway for such engagement.
We welcome the opportunity to work with OSI toward evolving the OSAID definition toward its next versions.
