The Power of Open Source AI: How FiftyOne Drives the Future of Visual AI

Voxel51, creators of the software refinery for machine learning scientists and engineers, has made its AI/ML software, called FiftyOne, fully open source. The company believes that open source AI greatly outweighs the risks, offering benefits such as collaboration and innovation, safety through transparency and trust, customization and adaptability, and no vendor lock-in. By making their AI work open source, Voxel51 aims to foster a more diverse range of applications across industries and domains, while also enabling public oversight, community-based governance, and collaborative standards for safety, privacy, and fairness in AI systems.
