Open Source to require documentation for the first time for AI?

In such a context, if we don’t release the definition soon, there may be no industry-wide push to adhere to OSAID’s four freedoms, nor the motivation to work towards a complete definition within the AI/ML sector.

@shujisado

It may take years before we decide whether this definition should be accepted, and there is a chance that OSAID could eventually be deemed ineffective.

These are very valid concerns and it seems to me to be the main motivation for OSI Board push for a final version in October.

However, I would prefer we could reach some “Rough consensus”, which will require new neutral moderators on this forum.

@shujisado

However, even if a valid OSAID 1.0 and checklist are completed, simply publishing them won’t give those in the Open AI/ML industry a clear idea of how to implement or apply them.

Given all that has been said, there should be an effort to bring together stakeholders (which includes communities and enterprises) discussing the details on the checklist and the FAQ during open sessions.
