A preprint from arXiv analyzes how open-source organizations are handling AI-generated and agent-driven contributions, comparing policies across six major projects (SymPy, LLVM, matplotlib, OpenInfra, Apache Software Foundation, Linux Foundation). The authors develop a six-dimensional taxonomy covering disclosure, responsibility, human oversight, licensing, enforcement, and maintainer workload, and score each organization's policy maturity. The paper maps documented agent incidents onto governance gaps and identifies misalignments with emerging regulatory frameworks including the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and ISO/IEC 42001, proposing a harmonized tiered framework.
