Item	Notes
General Premise / Charter	General support for creating the group, but there is a tendency to treat AI as a solution Previously - concern about ‘building AI directly into the platform’ no specific commitments to technology or model pluggable system, with clear contracts BizDev WG - AI was a top priority / topic with 16 votes from the Conference 2025 workshop session Talk tomorrow from @Juan Camilo Montoya and @Felipe Montoya on AI enablers for Open edX platform Challenges in two categories AI - Technical / Platform AI - End User / Educator Should there be two groups? AI Extensions Working Group AI Uses / Applications Subgroup AI Platform Extensions / Integrations Subgroup Perhaps move this out of the product working group (as a subgroup) Might echo the success of the Data Working Group - resulting in Aspects 2U team member who may join group (Ben) is technical product manager Many existing Open edX integrations / extensions that exist how can we learn about them / get them listed / understand or review them Are we aligned on the interest with AI integrations / tools? Some conferences you see 90% AI topic focus, that seems high / wrong, some maybe closer to 40-60% (EMOOCs), but we are much lower than that. Is this foundational gaps / platform issues? How many platform problems are advanced by having some initial capabilities for AI model integrations Key architecture lead / support is key, is this something Axim is interested in. Broad provider capacity and participation is going to be critical
