Open-Source AI for Public Services (ITU AI)

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU)-led multi-stakeholder initiative on Open-Source Generative AI for Public Services aims to develop an end-to-end, open-source implementation framework that enables public sector stakeholders to easily build and deploy their own GenAI solutions using modular, open-source software blueprints.

This initiative will provide governments and public institutions with all the necessary 'building blocks' and guidance required to assemble custom GenAI applications​ that are secure, transparent, scalable, interoperable, and cost-efficient. The initiative is led by the ITU Open-Source Programme Office and coordinated through a multi-stakeholder working group​, bringing together diverse stakeholders from around the world. The work is conducted in close collaboration with and is supported by the AI for Good and the ITU-UNDP Open Source Ecosystem Enabler​.
