+# Inviting the Hugging Face Community to champion Open Source AI
+As the field of AI advances, it's becoming increasingly important to define what "Open Source" means in the context of artificial intelligence. While Open Source software has long had established standards, AI models and datasets bring new challenges around transparency, accessibility and collaboration.
+To address this, the [Open Source Initiative](https://opensource.org) has been developing an Open Source AI Definition (OSAID) which will outline the criteria that AI components—such as models, datasets and code—must meet to be considered Open Source. The 1.0 version of the definition is set to be unveiled on October 28, 2024, at the [All Things Open](https://2024.allthingsopen.org/osi) conference.
+## What is the Open Source AI Definition (OSAID)?
+The OSAID outlines the core freedoms that should apply to AI systems to be considered truly Open Source. These include the right to:
+- Use the system for any purpose and without having to ask for permission.
+- Study how the system works and inspect its components.
+- Modify the system for any purpose, including to change its output.
+- Share the system for others to use with or without modifications, for any purpose.
+## What are the benefits of Open Source AI?
+Open Source AI offers significant benefits, including enhanced transparency and safety by enabling system audits, mitigating bias, and ensuring accountability in data sources, which accelerates AI safety research. It also fosters competition and innovation by making more models available, challenging AI monoculture, and providing access to foundational technology for a wider range of stakeholders. Additionally, Open Source AI supports the development of diverse, localized applications that reflect different cultural and linguistic contexts, allowing models to be aligned with various value systems.
+## How can the Hugging Face community help?
+As the largest AI community, Hugging Face plays a key role in promoting the Open Source principles in the context of AI. We would like to invite both individuals and organizations of the Hugging Face community to [review](https://opensource.org/deepdive/drafts/the-open-source-ai-definition-1-0-rc1), [endorse](https://opensource.org/osaid-endorse), and [adopt](https://huggingface.co/new) the OSAID. This is your chance to take part in a key moment for AI’s future.
+We are setting up a place for [discussions](https://huggingface.co/datasets/opensourceorg/osaid/discussions) about the Open Source AI Definition on Hugging Face. Here's how you can help:
+- Submit an AI system as a new [discussion](https://huggingface.co/datasets/opensourceorg/osaid/discussions/new) to showcase how it meets the Open Source AI Definition.
+- Evaluate with other members of the community if an AI system meets the Open Source AI Definition.
+- Encourage builders of AI systems to understand what's missing from the Open Source AI Definition's checklist.
+- Vote on AI systems that you like the most, including throught the use of emojis! 😄
+- Discuss the future of the Open Source AI Definition and propose enhancements.
+## Final remarks
+As we release the Open Source AI Definition v. 1.0, your support is fundamental. We encourage you to explore the definition, contribute models that adhere to the OSAID, and engage in discussions around Open Source AI. Together, we can ensure that Open Source AI continues to evolve in ways that are fair, transparent, and accessible to all.
