A 10-Year Retrospective on Why Our Job Isn't Just About Compliance and Cost Savings
Talkat Open Source Summit Japan + AI_dev: Open Source GenAI & ML Summit + Automotive Linux Summit 2025 · 2025-12-08..12-10·
summary
Ten years of OSPO work leads to a concrete shift: stop selling compliance as fear and sell it as long‑term investment that preserves creators and enables trustworthy AI. Litigation after 2021 often mixes AI faults with license claims, so the role demands mediating between management and community, translating risk into business language, and using practical tactics—repeating positive reinforcement like a value-based strategy instead of a fear-based strategy—so compliance becomes a result not the only goal.
