The Open Source Initiative (OSI) has introduced a draft definition for 'open source AI' in an effort to clarify the term's usage amid rising concerns from the tech community. The definition is particularly significant as companies like Meta are releasing trained AI language model weights and code, which some critics argue may set a misleading standard for open-source practices. The discussion around the definition has sparked a debate, with purists within the community expressing concerns that Meta's influence could be seen as 'bullying' and an attempt to manipulate regulations. The OSI's initiative aims to address these ambiguities and establish a clearer framework for what constitutes open-source AI, especially as the technology continues to evolve rapidly.
