Akshay JainHindalco Industries Ltd."I am working within the organisation to create AI which integrates with machines and man from a manufacturing stand points . Having Open source definitions in Manufacturing is of utmost important from the point of worker safety and protections as workers within our org takes decisions based on how AI functions. Open source AI help my team develope and explain model behaviour to end workers and this in turn , based on worker feedbacks our models improve. I want to sponsor and be a part of this initiative so that I can passionately advocate openess to AI algorithms and model behaviour to make manufacturing safer for workers."

Alyssa WrightBloomberg"Bloomberg supports the Open Source Initiative’s initial efforts to begin establishing a clearer definition for open source AI. This timely initiative is crucial as we and others navigate the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence models and increasing pace of adoption of this technology across enterprises. As an open source-first company, we hope that a common framework and definition for open source AI systems, data, code, models and weights will help foster more collaboration, faster innovation, and increased transparency within the AI community. We look forward to working with the OSI and others in the community to shape the future of open source AI for the benefit of all."
