Apache Software Foundation initiative
AI runs on open infrastructure
The ASF launched the Responsible AI initiative to strengthen the open source technologies that underpin modern artificial intelligence, and to help Apache communities adopt AI in a way that is open, transparent, and aligned with the Foundation's values.
AI systems worldwide depend on critical Apache projects. The initiative works to ensure that the ASF projects embedded in AI systems have expanded access to the models and resources they need to remain secure, transparent, and governed in the public interest.
Leveraging
Expanded access to AI models, tooling, and resources for the Apache projects already embedded in the AI ecosystem.
Innovating
Foundation-led programs and emerging AI projects growing under open, community governance and the Apache License 2.0.
Educating
Shared guidance on licensing, provenance, security, and attribution for communities adopting AI.
