AI is, at the end of the day, just software. We have the intellectual tools to enable us to make high quality software and systems, stemming from industrial experience stretching back three quarters of a century. We need to free that knowledge; ossified in dozens of mil-std and similar institutional documents: re-institutionalising it in the public domain, making free tools and systems available to support the (public) quality processes that a distributed, heterogeneous, partially open-source future AI requires.
