Open Source Initiative (OSI) reposted this
I gave a presentation on the "Open Source AI Definition" at the LLM-jp meeting. https://lnkd.in/gz95dFfR https://lnkd.in/gxQ8nDB2 It seems there were over 160 participants that day. Also, it was unusual for a meeting in Japan to receive so many questions. Although I don't remember all of them, I believe many questions were related to datasets. Towards the end, I was asked whether making a model Open Source would bring business benefits, but I couldn't provide a satisfactory answer. I only mentioned that it should have similar benefits to general Open Source software, but that in the case of AI models, the chain of contributions seen with something like Linux might be less likely to occur. In any case, I was very fortunate to be able to introduce OSAID to an audience almost entirely composed of LLM developers affiliated with Japanese companies. Although I didn't hear any reactions about checking for compliance with OSAID, many of them were already inclined to be open about AI models and research results from the beginning. Hopefully, we will see some positive developments in the future.
