Abstract

The Open Source Software (OSS) development model represents a collaborative model allowing development of software through shared knowledge and skills. OSS hosting platforms act as enablers of this collaborative development. The possibility of free access and participative development for customized reliable software has led to the increase in acceptance and migration to OSS alternatives in almost every area of application. In recent times, Artificial Intelligence has grown atvery fast pace impacting the creation and application of software for individuals and industry. There is a considerable rise in OSS projects in the field of Artificial Intelligence being hosted on collaborative hosting platforms. This paper takes case study approach to explore the status and user interest in Open Source Artificial Intelligence software hosted on one of the pioneer collaborative hosting platforms.
