ISSIP Weekly Speaker Series (WSS), Communities Of Interest (COI), Special Interest Groups (SIG), Regional Chapters Organizations (RCO) are the easiest way to get involved and meet some of the community members.

For example, for those interested in Artificial Intelligence and Service Innovation, consider the Cognitive Systems Institute Group (CSIG), which is a COI with a WSS – see previously recorded talks or listen in on next weeks tallk by going to the CSIG Events website and following the instructions (scroll down to see earlier talks).

Service Science and Open Tech AI

The relationship between service science and open tech AI is in part the concept of “trust” in value co-creation interactions.

Cognitive Systems and Service Systems

Our children and our pets are cognitive systems, but beyond cognitive systems, service systems have more.  Service systems have rights and responsibility in society, maintained by trusted institutions.  Legally speaking, all service systems are a form of cognitive system.  Even nations, cities, businesses are service systems/cognitive systems, based on distributed intelligence.  Legally speaking, people, businesses, cities, states, and nations are service systems, because their cognitive systems understand their rights and responsibilities.

Sustaining a service system requires effort, and trust in institutions that protect the rights and responsibilities.  A deeper understanding of institutions can be found in the work of Eleanor Ostrom, and her work is relevant to open source AI technologies communities – as well as other common pool resource arrangements where effort is necessary for sustainability.   For example, see:

Brown, TC (2018) A framework for thinking about Open Source Sustainability? URL: http://ivory.idyll.org/blog/2018-oss-framework-cpr.html

During this conversation, we realized the answer: effort. The common pool resource in open online projects is effort. When a contributor to a project adds a feature, what are they doing? Applying effort. When a contributor files a bug report? They’re applying effort. When they file a good bug report? More effort. When they write documentation? When they test a feature? When they suggest a new feature? They’re applying effort, all of it. But it goes deeper than that. When you bring a new contributor into a project, you’re growing the available pool of effort. When you engage a new investor in supplying funding for an open source project, often that funding goes to increasing the amount of dedicated effort that is being applied to the project. Of course, not all contributions are positive in their effect on effort, as I wrote about here. Some contributions (new feature proposals, or bad bug reports) cost the project more net effort than they bring. Significant feature additions that don’t come with contributions to the underlying maintenance of the project can be very costly to the core project maintainers, if only in terms of reviewing and rejecting. And underpinning all of this is the low susurration of maintenance needs: as I outline above, maintenance needs act as a net drag on project effort.

ISSIP.org is like an open source community, and ISSIP.org’s sustainability depends on the volunteer work of its members.

Thanks, -Jim
