The Agile Metabolic Health project is supported by UC Berkeley’s Open Platforms for Powering Science and Society initiative, which will use the outcomes and insights generated to develop new #OpenSource platforms to improve data capacity in basic science, human welfare, social justice, and sustainability.
Fantastic investment by the Academic eXchange for Information Environment and Strategy and the broader Japanese #HigherEd community to create the #OpenSource Technology Group.
Obviously I think their mission and work are applicable to other universities, systems, and consortia, but can anyone tell me why wouldn't other institutions want to invest similarly?

Friend of #Apereo, The Open Source Initiative (@osi), which is responsible for overseeing the OpenSource definition, has embarked on an initiative to define Open Source #AI, including a series of workshops, webinars, and extensive discussions. With the increasing use of #ArtificialIntelligence by public administrations and #HigherEd, it has become imperative to address the question of what it means for an AI system to be Open Source.
New guidelines for #OnlineSafety in UK #schools are due to be released in the coming weeks. This guidance tends to centre on the classroom, however, the boarding environment presents an additional set of issues to consider.
