As Mozilla reports, " The Open Source Initiative (OSI) has recently released a new draft definition of open source AI, marking a critical juncture in the evolution of the internet." The new definition is about what we would expect, with one important caveat: access to the data. Here's what it says: the preferred form is "sufficiently detailed information about the data used to train the system, so that a skilled person can recreate a substantially equivalent system using the same or similar data." This is not the same as open data. It's hard for me to imagine something being open AI without the data being used to train it also being open. But this definition leaves a city-wide loophole for the use of proprietary data.
