The Open Source Initiative's executive director departs - what it means for the OSAID debate


Will the OSI continue with its current AI definition path? This issue continues to be debated in both AI and open-source circles.

Stefano Maffulli, the group's first executive director, is set to step down in October to pursue work in open-source AI and data governance. Peter Zaitsev, CEO of the open-source data company Percona, believes " OSI continues with its flawed 'one size fits all' approach rather than helping to better define the 'spectrum' for open source and AI." The organization credits Maffulli for modernizing its operations, expanding international partnerships, and strengthening OSI's voice in global technology policy.
