In the future, OPPO will work with other senior members to build a leading global open source community of artificial intelligence and data, and accelerate the innovative development and practical application of artificial intelligence and data technology.

The LF AI & Data Foundation was founded by the Linux Foundation in March 2018 and currently has 49 cross-industry members. The foundation aims to promote the open source and openness of artificial intelligence, machine learning, data systems and other fields, and promote the application of technology through collaborative innovation, so that the dividends of technology can benefit everyone.

Responsible with the mission of "Science and Technology for People, Good for the World", OPPO always actively advocates open technology, strives to create an inclusive ecological environment, and empowers each other and makes progress together with developers and industry partners in the era of Internet of Everything. This is in line with the LF AI & Data Fund. The concept that the club insists on coincides with each other.

With joining the LF AI & Data Foundation, OPPO senior technical experts Liam Zheng and Dr. Jimin Jia will serve as council representatives and technical advisory committee representatives respectively, actively communicating and cooperating with other industry partners, and exploring in the field of artificial intelligence and big data The best way to apply open source technology in practice.

Dr. Ibrahim Haddad, Executive Director of LF AI & Data Foundation, said: "I am very pleased that OPPO has joined the foundation as one of the highest-level members of the board of directors. For a long time, the foundation has continued to encourage open source technology development and is committed to creating a sustainable open source. The ecosystem makes the integration of artificial intelligence and data technology simpler and more reliable. As a like-minded partner, OPPO is also continuing to work hard to build a healthy and sustainable ecosystem. We once again warmly welcome OPPO to join as a member of the highest level , Looking forward to jointly promoting the growth and innovation of the open source community in the future."

OPPO has always been at the forefront of technological openness and cooperation, and regards the diversified discussion and tolerance of technology as an inexhaustible driving force for innovation, so that everyone can enjoy the leading experience brought by technological progress. In June 2020, as a representative of a Chinese enterprise, OPPO became the first platinum member of OpenChain under the Linux Foundation. By participating in the formulation of open source ISO licensing standards, it played a huge role in establishing the first global open source ecosystem. During the OPPO Developer Conference held in October of the same year, OPPO ColorOS released a total of seven system capability open engines, through open source code to build a more open system for developers and ecological partners to create a user experience. In March 2021, the number of monthly active users of OPPO's artificial intelligence assistant "Xiaobu" exceeded 100 million, becoming the mobile voice assistant with more than 100 million active users in the first month in China. The Xiaobu assistant team and AI research teams such as Tsinghua University and Beijing Zhiyuan Research Institute jointly released the largest Chinese dialogue data set in June this year, providing solid basic data support for technical research in the field of dialogue interaction.

On the road to becoming an ecological company, OPPO is working hard to explore and build an open and comprehensive ecosystem, so that everyone can benefit from it and bring a new intelligent experience. In the future, OPPO will continue to establish deeper cooperation with the global open source community, and benefit more consumers through the sustainable development and continuous implementation of cutting-edge technologies.
