Open-source AI must reveal its training data, per new OSI definition

In this article:

The Open Source Initiative (OSI) has released its official definition of “open” artificial intelligence, setting the stage for a clash with tech giants like Meta — whose models don’t fit the rules.
Now, for an AI system to be considered truly open source, it must provide:
- Access to details about the data used to train the AI so others can understand and re-create it
- The complete code used to build and run the AI
- The settings and weights from the training, which help the AI produce its results
The balance of the article goes deeper into the backgrpund,, issues arising, and way forward, especially for Meta, and gives Meta’s response to this development
It also looks at Tech Giants in general as well as Linux Foundation among others
