Open source artificial intelligence (AI) projects are increasingly shaping technological trajectories, yet their governance structures often remain opaque, undermining trustworthiness assessments. This article investigates how community-driven governance models affect the perceived trustworthiness of explainable AI (XAI) initiatives. We pose three research questions: (1) What governance models ...

Open-source AI technologies are rapidly transforming healthcare, especially in clinical decision support (CDS) where timely, transparent, and auditable models are essential [1]. Despite this momentum, trust in open-source solutions remains fragmented due to limited standardized evaluation frameworks and provenance tracking [2]. To address these challenges, we introduce a curated stack that aggr...
