As this press release states, "Open Source Initiative (OSI), the non-profit corporation that educates about and advocates for the importance of non-proprietary software, is hosting its 2nd Deep Dive: AI event, this one focused on Defining Open Source AI."

My concern right off the mark is that 'open source AI' is very different from 'open AI' (the concept, not the colmpany), which is what we actually need. True open AI would be based on data sets that are open and accessible to all, extracted from sources specifically permitting and endorsing such use. As Irene Solaiman (Hugging Face) wrote back in March, "open source and closed source (are) the two ends of a gradient of options for releasing generative AI systems, rather than a simple either/or question" (illustrated).
