If the current Open Source Initiative’s (OSI) Open Source AI Definition (OSAID) is implemented as is, it could potentially lead to a catastrophe for the open source software community and the OSI itself. The fact that the data doesn’t necessarily have to be reproducible in the draft OSAID is a major concern, paving the way for increased openwashing.
