Understand this story
Two years after the release of the Open Source AI Definition OSAID 1.0, the Open Source Initiative (OSI) held the first event in its "Open Source AI Salon" series, joining partners in Raleigh and Barcelona to discuss the definition's practical application and future evolution. OSI said another salon will be held during FOSDEM next January, and participants can sign up via the OSI website; it is also looking for global partners to host salons in 2027.

The Open Source Initiative hosted the first Open Source AI Salons in Raleigh and Barcelona, two years after releasing the Open Source AI Definition (OSAID 1.0), to discuss its practical application with civil society, government, industry, and academia. Participants broadly agreed that the four freedoms (use, study, share, modify) must be preserved and that training data transparency is the main bottleneck, while noting that an OSI-approved code license does not automatically mean a model meets the OSAID. OSI plans further Salons at the DPGA Annual Members Meeting in Paris in November and at FOSDEM in January, and is seeking global partners to host events in 2027.
