yes, the OSAID refers to and includes a definition of "AI system". It was
required because we needed to anchor the discussion to something concrete.
Think of the Open Source Definition #2 Source Code stating "The program
must include source code". In the context of software we knew what "the
program" was, therefore there was no need to dive any deeper into that
rat's nest.

For AI, we (collectively) needed to understand what the word "program"
represents before we could understand what the words "source code" meant.
The equivalent of "Program" is "AI system" as defined by the OECD. As the
OSAID FAQ say https://opensource.org/ai/faq#what-is-an-ai-system:

            an AI system is “the thing” that processes input to produce
output, whether that’s a prediction, recommendation, or another result.

I have opinions but they're personal opinions so I won't state them here.
I'd be happy to hear what others think though.
