Open-source artificial intelligence

Open-source artificial intelligence, as defined by the Open Source Initiative, is an AI system that is freely available to use, study, modify, and share. This includes datasets used to train the model, its code, and model parameters, promoting a collaborative and transparent approach to AI development so someone could create a substantially similar result.

The debate over what should count as ‘open-source’ given a range of openness among AI projects has been significant. Some large language models touted as open-sourced that only release model-weights (but not training data and code) have been criticized as "openwashing" systems that are mostly closed.

Popular open-source artificial intelligence project categories include large language models, machine translation tools, and chatbots. Debate over the benefits and risks of open-sourced AI involve a range of factors like security, privacy and technological advancement.
