On the 6th of March the OpenChain AI Study Group held a special AI workshop instead of the regular AI call. It provided an opportunity to deep dive into the topic with experts from Qualcomm and Arm, and a chance to ask questions or share ideas. The idea was to fold in the ideas shared thus far and seek a single coherent narrative.

Please note, at the request of attendees, this meeting was held under Chatham House Rule, and therefore a recording is not being shared.

The Formal Agenda:

– Opening comments (Dave and Matthew)
– AI Model supply chain issues (Brian)
— Use cases in context of regulatory backdrop
— Open vs. Proprietary
— War stories
— Roundtable
– Dataset supply chain issues (Jeff)
— Use cases and pragmatic practices
— Open vs. Proprietary
— War stories
— Roundtable
– Possible Solutions – how can OpenChain best provide value to the ecosystem (All)
– Closing (Dave and Matthew)

The Outcomes

It was decided that following meetings would:
– Work through key use cases
— Start with LLM – text to text as a first hypothetical
– Work through the Huggingface Model Card example
— https://huggingface.co/templates/model-card-example
— Initial focus will be on what can one should supply when delivering and what one wants to see when receiving

Korea System Assurance, Inc (KOSYAS), a company that provides security testing and evaluation, network and server security, cloud security, IoT security, control system security and blockchain security, has become the first official third-party certifier for OpenChain in South Korea.

KOSYAS support third-party certification around both OpenChain ISO/IEC 5230:2020 (the international standard for open source license compliance) and OpenChain ISO/IEC 18974:2023 (the international standard for open source security assurance).

“The availability of local language support and certification for the OpenChain standards is an important step in building maturity in markets,” says Shane Coughlan, OpenChain General Manager. “We are delighted to welcome KOSYAS to our partner program in the context, and we look forward to building increased support for Korean companies with them in the years ahead.”

Why You Should Attend

We will use an operating system ecosystem called openEuler as the basis for our case studies. openEuler is an emerging operating system ecosystem in China with 36.8% of the server operating system market, 17,000+ developers and 500+ projects. It is hosted by the OpenAtom Foundation, and a healthy ecosystem of companies creating products exists around it. OpenChain ISO 5230 and OpenChain ISO 18974 are at the center of how business processes are managed in openEuler.
