Reading the tea leaves -- What could the future hold for the AOSP?

Over the past few years it feels like the rate of "fundamental" changes in the AOSP has slowed down significantly. More recently, several announcements have left open questions about where the AOSP is going and/or what are Google's long-term goals with it: "closing up" of the main branch, dropping support for pixel devices from AOSP, seamingly slowing down the rate of security backports, defeaturing cs.android.com, etc. What does this all mean? What could we interpret from all this? This presentation will try to piece together a coherent story around what several people have observed, place it in the context of the AOSP's historical record and, most importantly, in view of emerging tech trends, especially AI. By no means will we have any definitive answers, nor do we have any "special" information that isn't publicly accessible. But we know these discussions are ongoing and we thought we'd try sharing some of our current line of thinking to foster constructive conversations. Slides: https://opersys.com/presentations/202...
