The OSI's effort to shepherd the community in defining Open Source AI has
been steadily moving forward. We’ve been hosting community discussions
throughout the year, and we called on speakers from law, academia, NGOs,
enterprises and the OSS community to present webinars [3] addressing
pressing issues and potential solutions. I encourage you to read my wrap up
of the Deep Dive AI 2023 [4] for more detail about what we’ve
accomplished.

The TL:DR is that we’re off to a good start and the effort is continuing.
The Definition of Open Source AI currently stands at version 0.0.3. The
language of the Four Freedoms and the current draft Definition have been
honed based on input from the most recent workshops with very different
stakeholders in Raleigh, Monterey and Addis Ababa. 

One more in-person workshop is now scheduled before the end of the year:
Dec 12 at the Linux Foundation AI.Dev conference in San Jose [5]. As these
conversations continue, everyone is invited to review and comment on v.
0.0.3 [6]. 

The work done in 2023 was made possible by contributions from our sponsors
[7] and your donations [8]. In 2024 we intend to expand our reach to other
communities with a goal of reaching a 1.0 release of the Open Source AI
Definition by the end of 2024.
