Ensuring Open Source AI thrives under the EU’s new AI rules – Open Source Initiative

The Open Source Initiative is doing … something again, now it’s working against regulation protecting people from certain uses of AI systems:

In particular, previous drafts of the Code of Practice mandated acceptable use policies, and a prohibition of certain uses of the AI system. But having these restrictions conflicts with the freedom of use that Open Source guarantees, in particular, rule 6 of the Open Source Definition (No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor). This would mean developers would have to choose between complying with the Code of Practice or being Open Source.

Thank you OSI. To protect the purity of your license – which I do not consider to be open source – you are working towards making it harder for regulators to enforce certain standards within the usage of so-called “AI” systems. Quick question: Who are you actually working for? (I know, it is corporations)

The whole Open Source/Free Software movement has run its course and has been very successful for business. But it feels like somewhere along the line we as normal human beings have been left behind.

The #EU is currently drafting its guidelines on how to apply the #AI act to General Purpose AI Models.

The #OSI is participating in drafting these rules, but when the first draft arrived, we discovered issues that would make it impossible for #OpenSourceAI projects to comply.

Here’s how we fixed them! 🤖 🇪🇺

A couple of issues with @sjvn's article on the #OSI board elections:
1. "This board agreement has existed for five years in its current form, but it is the first time that candidates decided to run while publicly communicating they would not sign it". I never communicated that I wouldn't sign the board agreement (I don't think @bkuhn did either). As I have said elsewhere, at the outset of the vote I assumed I'd sign it if invited to join the board following publication of vote results. (cont.)

@richlitt As a fellow USA-ian, I wonder if you agree with me how wild it is that the SCOTUS justices can offer formal dissents to the Court's decisions, but yet the OSI directors can't....

@richlitt Co-sign.

When our community's past leaders-by-consensus fail to act with integrity, it damages the FOSS movement's reputation to those "on the outside".

Fortunately, as you say, our ideals and vision are bigger than any leader or organization; they can and will endure.

But at what reputational cost?

can someone give me the TL;DR what this whole #OSI fuss is about? 🤨

This week #OSI helps us realize how quickly you can demolish trust in an organization.

Специалист по обнаружению атак в сети: как выглядит эта работа на самом деле

Привет, Хабр! Меня зовут Андрей Тюленев, я старший специалист отдела обнаружения атак в сети в Positive Technologies. Моя работа — отслеживать атаки, затем разбирать их по косточкам, чтобы не дать злоумышленникам реализовать недопустимое событие, и создавать детекты — чтобы продукты Positive Technologies могли их обнаруживать. Сегодня я расскажу, как выглядит работа специалиста по обнаружению атак, какие инструменты мы используем, как попасть в эту профессию и какие скилы реально важны. Разберем, чем мы занимаемся на практике: от написания правил детектирования и анализа трафика до участия в расследованиях, где на кону — безопасность крупных компаний.

ICYMI: Bentley Hensel, @richardfontana, & I ran for #OpenSource Initiative Board of Directors — but we were surreptitiously removed from all *already-cast* ballots & our names are even scrubbed from #OSI's results announcement.

@gedankenstuecke I don't see why it matters at all. Most people probably don't realize the OSI exists at all. Despite being a Linux user since 1998, I certainly don't check with the OSI before referring to something as open source or not.

@osi time for the @ed to be held accountable for rigging elections. The whole board should step down. #FLOSS #FOSS #OSI #FSF #GNU #FreeSoftware #OpenSource

7 days, and still no tally.

Bradley M. Kuhn

No, it's actually b/c I needed a place to campaign for the #OpenSource Initiative elections and & bloggjng to do it wasn't interactive enough.

I am not sure what I'll do with this account after the #OSI situation is addressed.

As you may recall, @zacchiro, in that conversation at #FOSDEM that you mention, I pointed out that I do think microblogging is addictive and often pushes people toward baser form of discourse.

I will write more about this after OSI stuff reaches safe background level.

The lack of outrage that the @osi rigging election is quite pathetic .. #FreeSoftware for the win, #OpenSource misses the point. #FLOSS #FOSS #OSI #FSF #GNU
