Introduction to the Open Source AI Definition for HigherEd (Apereo Micro Conference)

Anne-Marie Scott @ammienoot vice-secretary of the Open Source Intiative (OSI) and former chair of the Apereo Foundation Board of Directors will lead a discussion and Q&A on the Open Source AI Definition for HigherEd.

This talk will introduce the Open Source AI Definition, how it came to be, and explain why higher education institutions should be interested in it.

The Open Source AI Definition v1.0 was developed by the Open Source Initiative through a global multi-stakeholder process and defines what makes an AI system “open source”. Higher Education has a long history of development, innovation, and engagement with open source technologies, often aligned to open education and open science agendas. As we increasingly use AI across our learning, teaching, research, and knowledge mobilisation work, having the ability to continue to work openly as part of a larger knowledge commons has never been more vital, and the Open Source AI Definition is a critical component to achieving this.
