IIO Open Source: Transparency as a Competitive Advantage

Intelego is releasing the IIO framework under Apache 2.0. That means: free to use, modify, and use commercially — for anyone.

What Becomes Open Source?

IIO Core (Apache 2.0):

• Flow engine and 139+ flows
• HITL gate system
• Compliance framework (EU AI Act, ISO 42001, GDPR)
• Monitoring & observability
• AI Hub infrastructure

IIO Professional (Commercial):

• Managed service (IBO)
• Tenant isolation and multi-tenancy
• SLA and support
• Managed AI Hub with local models

Why Open Source?

AI governance cannot be a black box. Companies, authorities, and regulators need to be able to understand how AI decisions come about.

Open source builds trust — the most important asset of the AI era.

What the Community Gets

• Full documentation and tutorials
• A public roadmap
• Community governance
• OCC (Open Cognition Commons) — a public knowledge base on AI governance

What Open Source Means — and What It Doesn’t

IIO follows an open-core model:

Open source (Apache 2.0):

• All compliance templates (HITL gate definitions, risk register)
• Governance specifications and flow definitions
• AI literacy curricula (EU AI Act Art. 4)
• DPA templates for tenants

Proprietary (commercial licence):

• The IIO platform itself (engine, orchestration, fleet)
• Tenant-specific configurations
• Support and SLA

Why This Makes Strategic Sense

Open-source compliance artefacts build trust — with customers, auditors, and authorities. Showing that your templates can be publicly reviewed is a structural trust advantage.

Where to Find the Repositories

The public IIO repositories are available on GitHub. Included artefacts:

• hitl-gate-definitions.yaml — all 17 approval-point definitions
• control-catalog.yaml — ISO 42001 control catalogue with implementation status
• dpa-template-de.md — GDPR data processing agreement (German)
• eu-ai-act-art4-training.md — AI literacy curriculum
