summary
OSI publishes the Open Source AI Definition (OSAID) after a yearlong co‑design with 100+ experts from 27 nations (Sloan Foundation funded), and version 1 is approved Oct 2024. OSAID requires access to weights and parameters, training code, and data‑creation code and mandates either full datasets or data information (URLs or detailed descriptions) to reproduce equivalents. The definition aims to stop openwashing, give legal certainty for EU AI Act compliance (GDPR, copyright, TDM), and is backed by a planned expert review group and ongoing model audits.
