The Open Forum for Artificial Intelligence (OFAI) is a Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) led partnership that will bend the arc toward human-centered, responsible, and ethical AI. Funded by CMU library reserve funds, Omidyar Network, and NobleReach Foundation, OFAI includes university partners from George Washington University, Georgia Institute of Technology, and University of Texas at Austin. Additional non-profit partners include the Open Source Initiative (OSI), Creative Commons, and the Atlantic Council. OFAI also includes individual fellows from Microsoft, GitHub, Cerebras, BGV venture capital, and the US Navy. The presentation will outline OFAI’s charter, position paper, and road map, which build upon the open source AI definition, and include demonstrations of OFAI’s initial AI prototypes.
