[$] OSI readies controversial Open AI definition

The Open Source Initiative(OSI) has been working on defining Open Source AI-that is whatconstitutes an AI system that can be used, studied, modified, andshared for any purpose-for almost twoyears. Its board willbe voting on the Open Source AI Definition (OSAID) on Sunday,October27, with the 1.0 version slated to be published onOctober28. It is never possible to please everyone insuch an endeavor, and it would be folly to make that a goal. However,a number of prominent figures in the open-source community have voicedconcerns that OSI is setting the bar too low with the OSAID-whichwill undo decades of community work to cajole vendors into adhering toor respecting the original Open SourceDefinition (OSD).
