OSI has long set the industry standard for what constitutes open-source software, but AI systems include elements that aren’t covered by conventional licenses, like model training data. Now, for an AI system to be considered truly open source, it must provide:

• The complete code used to build and run the AI
• The settings and weights from the training, which help the AI produce its results
