Title: Charting Uncertain Waters: A Socio-Technical Framework for Navigating GenAI's Impact on Open Source Communities
Authors: Zixuan Feng, Reed Milewicz, Emerson Murphy-Hill, Tyler Menezes, Alexander Serebrenik, Igor Steinmacher, Anita Sarma,
Abstract summary: We conduct a scenario-driven, conceptual exploration using a socio-technical framework inspired by McLuhan's Tetrad to surface both risks and opportunities for community resilience amid GenAI-driven disruption of OSS development across four domains: software practices, documentation, community engagement, and governance.<n>By adopting this lens, OSS leaders and researchers can proactively shape the future of their ecosystems, rather than simply reacting to technological upheaval.

Abstract: Open Source Software communities face a wave of uncertainty as Generative AI rapidly transforms how software is created, maintained, and governed. Without clear frameworks, communities risk being overwhelmed by the complexity and ambiguity introduced by GenAI, threatening the collaborative ethos that underpins OSS. We conduct a scenario-driven, conceptual exploration using a socio-technical framework inspired by McLuhan's Tetrad to surface both risks and opportunities for community resilience amid GenAI-driven disruption of OSS development across four domains: software practices, documentation, community engagement, and governance. By adopting this lens, OSS leaders and researchers can proactively shape the future of their ecosystems, rather than simply reacting to technological upheaval.

Risks and Opportunities of Open-Source Generative AI [64.86989162783648]
Applications of Generative AI (Gen AI) are expected to revolutionize a number of different areas, ranging from science & medicine to education. The potential for these seismic changes has triggered a lively debate about the potential risks of the technology, and resulted in calls for tighter regulation. This regulation is likely to put at risk the budding field of open-source generative AI.

Managing extreme AI risks amid rapid progress [171.05448842016125]
We describe risks that include large-scale social harms, malicious uses, and irreversible loss of human control over autonomous AI systems. There is a lack of consensus about how exactly such risks arise, and how to manage them. Present governance initiatives lack the mechanisms and institutions to prevent misuse and recklessness, and barely address autonomous systems.
