AI is eating cloud native. Every platform adds an AI tab, every vendor ships an AI-powered feature, and nobody can verify any of it. The same standard Kubernetes sets for conformance is what AI infrastructure needs now: transparent, community-driven, verifiable. Verifiability beats marketing. The commons model produces trust that proprietary certification cannot match. Open standards are more than better APIs: they are the foundation for AI infrastructure that regulators, operators, and users can trust.
