Home from my third #mozweek at Mozilla. I absolutely adored that we had a Lego station and could relax and let our creativity flow. I made our Dino, but I am so impressed by my coworker who made the Firefox Logo. the LEGO Group 👀

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. This moment comes after two years of conversations, debates, engagements, and late-night conversations across the technical and open-source communities. It is critical not just for redefining what “open-source” means in the context of AI; it’s about shaping the future of the technology and its impact on society.

A huge milestone for #OpenSourceAI: after over a year of conversations, debates, town halls, and open comment periods across the technical and open source communities, the Open Source Initiative (OSI) has released a definition of Open Source AI, and Mozilla happily endorses it. Congratulations Stefano Maffulli and team. AI has a huge potential for positive impact on society, but not if it is all kept in black boxes, controlled by corporate interests alone, and made inaccessible to individuals and small communities who want to study it or customize it for their own benefits. Enter Open Source AI. Up until today, there hasn't been a binary way to determine what is and isn't open source AI. In February we worked with Columbia Institute of Global Politics and 40 leaders in Open Source AI to create a framework around openness. But now this from OSI is a full definition, not just important for its academic rigor, it is important because without it, companies claim the title, without actually delivering the tools and artifacts to benefit the developer, startup, research and policy community. AI owes its innovations to open source, so this is especially important. And most importantly, this effort embodies the open source community at its best — engaging in open discussions, addressing differences, acknowledging shortcomings and refining this definition together, to build something better. In contrast, the closed source ecosystem operates in secrecy, with limited access and behind-the-scenes deals where large tech companies exchange compute power and talent. We prefer our sometimes imperfect but consistently transparent approach any day. In 2011, I was part of the open hardware community that underwent a similar community-driven process to define the Open Hardware Definition. More than 10 years later the Open Hardware community is still going strong and the Open Hardware License is used at CERN Hadron Collider. Today I, and many colleagues at Mozilla and the open source community are eager to continue collaborating with OSI to start to bend the course of AI towards more openness and positive change for years to come. cc Daniel Nazer Imo Udom Nik Marda Mark Surman
