Wednesday June 17, 2026 08:00 - 09:00 CEST

08 - ST CLAIR 3A

As Artifi cial Intelligence solidifi es its place in core enterprise systems, the debate surrounding the defi nition of "Open Source AI" has only intensifi ed. This technical update is a direct follow-up to the session presented last year, refreshed to address the signifi cant changes in both the general AI landscape and its open source defi nitions that have emerged since our last discussion.
Designed for IT Leaders, Enterprise Architects, and Technical Professionals, this session revisits the essential context and governance frameworks introduced previously, but applies them to today's reality. We will start with a reviewed technical baseline of AI and Machine Learning concepts to ensure a common understanding before diving into the new developments of the past 12 months.
Attendees will be equipped to:
- Track the Evolution: Identify how the challenges in defi ning Open Source AI have shifted since last year compared to traditional Open Source Software.
- Apply Current Criteria: Utilize the latest frameworks, such as the Open Source AI Defi nition (OSAID) and the Foundation Model Transparency Index, to accurately assess the true openness of established solutions like IBM Granite.
- Spot Evolved Risks: Analyze the operational pitfalls of "open weights" models and identify the techniques used in "openwashing" that have appeared since last year's session.
