to 12:00pm EDT (Online)

*Defining an Open Source AI*
*Stefano Maffulli,**
**Executive Director**
**Open Source Initiative*
There is a seismic shift facing open source today and it's all AI's
fault. The traditional view of open source code implementing AI
algorithms may not be sufficient to guarantee inspectability,
modifiability and replicability of the AI systems. AI is already
deciding who stays in jail or which customers deserve credit to buy a
house. More kinds of “autonomous” systems are appearing so fast that
government regulators are rushing to define policies. The Open Source
Initiative is leading an exploration of the world of AI and Open Source,
diving deep around the boundaries of data and software to discover how
existing concepts like copy, distribution, modification of source code
apply in the context of Artificial Intelligence. Maffulli will share the
results of OSI’s Deep Dive: AI, and highlight the plan for a
multi-stakeholders process to clearly define what it means for AI
systems to be “Open Source.”

second workshop which gathered public and private sector participants to
discuss OSS challenges and possiblilities for moving forward. Be it
implementing new solutions, adapting existing systems to local contexts,
fulfilling local legal requirements or finding the right tools,
collaboration between the public and private sector can greatly
facilitate development of open administrations. This webinar is open to
all and should be of interest to anyone making IT policy and decisions
in public administration as well as open source providers. Join us to
learn more about the outcomes of this discussion and learn about
possible ways forward to facilitate the use of open source in public
administration.
