[Here is a link to a PDF of our FOSSY Talk of this title](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1e-RBjWXKmShcngnw-CL8aZzN6FTVgdKv/view?usp=drive%5Flink&ref=sunnydeveloper.com). We focused on metric models as a mechanisms for open source communities to influence AI Alignment through community governance and feedback. To move from reactiveness to directing and influencing this technology in our spaces.   **We are not powerless.**

> AI **depends** on open source to function, both as a development tool and as a source of data. Model builders who **consume** the output of our labour MUST also be aligned with the values, norms and **governance** of those communities. Our hypothesis, being that AI builders who prioritize alignment with open source communities will have an **advantage** built through **trust**.
