Ultimately, proponents of AI reform should continue to call out the CAIA's continental drift. The EU’s state actors are not disinterested in new technologies—just swipe off the tram in Amsterdam! But by inserting OSS into the “developer” definition (or "provider" definition like the EU), the state will at least help operationalize the other mechanisms borrowed from European regulators. That said, there is still complexity in the CAIA's administration, as the law mandates a "deployer" implement frameworks like NIST's AI Risk Management Framework or ISO/IEC 42001, which are governance structures better suited for traditional corporate environments than decentralized development communities. Still, absent federal legislation, this first salvo in the AI policy from the states will greatly shape the nation as a whole. Hence, unless “comprehensive” language truly reflects the reality of a vast OSS underground, the CAIA will tend to see friends around the campfire... and everybody’s high.

The EU’s state actors are not disinterested aggregators of source code—just swipe off the tram in Amsterdam! But by inserting OSS into the “developer” definition (or "provider" per the EU AI Act), Colorado will at least operationalize the other mechanisms it has borrowed from European regulators. That said, there is still complexity in the CAIA's design, as the law mandates a "deployer" implement frameworks like NIST's AI Risk Management Framework or ISO/IEC 42001, which are governance structures perhaps better suited for traditional corporate environments than decentralized development communities. Still, absent federal legislation, this first salvo in regulating AI by the states will greatly shape the national conversation as a whole. Hence, unless “comprehensive” language truly reflects the reality of a vast OSS underground, the CAIA will tend to see friends around the campfire... and everybody’s high.
