About
The Responsible AI Licenses (RAIL) initiative aims to mitigate AI harm by creating licenses that allow developers to restrict the use of their AI technology to prevent irresponsible applications. They offer sample licenses (end-user and source code) that allow for open-source benefits while mitigating risks. The project also includes tools and resources for standardization, developer collaboration, and education. Several different RAIL licenses exist, each with its own specific use restrictions.

FAQs
What is RAIL and OpenRAIL?
Responsible AI Licenses (RAIL) are designed to encourage responsible AI use by including use restrictions. OpenRAIL is a subclass that permits free, open access and reuse for commercial purposes, while still including usage restrictions.
What is the motivation behind OpenRAIL?
OpenRAIL licenses are inspired by open licensing movements like Open Source and Creative Commons, adapting these practices to ML artifacts.
How does OpenRAIL work?
OpenRAIL balances permissive intellectual property rights with specific restrictions on critical use cases. Licensors can also specify their own restrictions.
What’s the main point of using OpenRAIL?
To empower model developers to control inappropriate use by including usage restrictions clauses in a license.
Which RAIL licenses are available? What are their differences?
Several RAIL licenses exist, each with varying governing bodies and specific restrictions. They include RAIL-A, SIL AI RAIL-M, OpenRAIL-S, BigScience BLOOM RAIL 1.0, BigScience OpenRAIL-M, CreativeML OpenRAIL-M, OpenRAIL++-M, and CodeML OpenRAIL-M 0.1.
Are OpenRAILs considered open source licenses?
No, OpenRAIL licenses are not considered open-source licenses according to the Open Source Initiative definition due to use restrictions. However, they are considered "open" in that they enable reuse, distribution, and commercialization unless the artifact is used in restricted ways.
How is OpenRAIL different from Creative Commons licenses?
No, RAILs are not Creative Commons licenses because CC licenses lack the use-restriction clauses considered essential for responsible AI artifact use.
Do use-based restrictions apply to subsequent versions?
Yes, RAIL license use restrictions apply to all downstream versions of the AI artifact. This is similar to "copyleft" clauses in other licenses.
What if I want to use the AI artifact for a use case that's currently restricted?
Contact the author to review the use case and changes. The model may need to be re-licensed if approved.
Who decides on use restrictions? Do they cover every harmful use case?
The licensor decides on restrictions, based on the artifact's capabilities. The list doesn't cover every possible harmful use case.
