Before open source was available, there was little to no interoperability between computer systems. If your one vendor of hardware, software, training, and all tangential things discontinued your sole-sourced system in favor of a newer, better-margined system of their manufacture, then all your investment was suddenly worth next to nothing.

ML learning systems combine the characteristics of software, e.g. the need for CI/CD pipelines, and of data, e.g. the need to track lineage. Compared to web-scale platform use of ML, enterprise applications tend to be built by smaller teams with deeper domain expertise, but less deep algorithmic or systems expertise.

In a classic 1983 paper , cognitive psychologist Lisanne Bainbridge drew attention to a curious irony: so-called “automated” systems were, in practice, usually attended by one or more human operators. The more advanced the system, she observed, “the more crucial…the contribution of the human operator.” But RPA is different.
