Open-source artificial intelligence is the application of open-source practices to the development of artificial intelligence resources.
Many open-source artificial intelligence products are variations of other existing tools and technologies which have been shared as open-source software by large companies.[1]
Companies often develop closed products in an attempt to keep a competitive advantage in the marketplace.[2] A journalist for Wired explored the idea that open-source AI tools have a development advantage over closed products, and could overtake them in the marketplace.[2]
Popular open-source artificial intelligence project categories include large language models, machine translation tools, and chatbots.[3]
For software developers to produce open-source artificial intelligence resources, they must trust the various other open-source software components they use in its development.[4][5]
