During our @parispeaceforum.bsky.social panel last week, Dr. Giada Pistilli eloquently explained that transparency in AI isn’t just a technical challenge — it’s a societal one.

Excited to announce here at the @parispeaceforum.bsky.social that, after months of joint technical work together, OpenAI will open source through ROOST one of its main internal models that handles detection and moderation. This will allow anyone or any company to use, test, and study the model.
