Roundtable: The critical role of Open Source in advancing Responsible AI for the public good

Abstract:
AI is reshaping the Open Source landscape and introducing unprecedented challenges with managing surging numbers of contributions whilst maintaining project quality at scale. Members of the ASF's Responsible AI and Tooling Initiatives, along with experts from industry and academia will explore critical AI-accelerated issues faced by Open Source maintainers today, including: 
 
  - Attracting new Committers tempted by the low-hanging fruit of automated development
  - Promoting meritocracy through community-led contributions The Apache Way
  - Revitalizing seasoned Committers previously daunted by large refactoring needed to upgrade legacy systems
  - Navigating the asymmetrical "arms race" of automated vulnerability reports and deluges of poor quality data
  - Facing the "tragedy of the commons": will AI make us better/faster/stronger or will it destroy the lifeblood of Open Source innovation? 

Participants are invited to ask questions and share their perspectives. Join us! 

Also: RAI Hackathon ...same day at 4PM; details forthcoming.
