Nothing?

See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Automated_Edits_code_of_conduct

See for example 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mechanical_Edits/Mateusz_Konieczny_-_bot_account
that includes list of my approved bot tasks - some were for a single run,
some are active forever until revoked.

For example
"add highway=bus_stop tag 
where only public_transport=platform bus=yes is present
 in Poland"

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mechanical_Edits/Mateusz_Konieczny_-_bot_account/add_highway%3Dbus_stop_tag_where_only_public_transport%3Dplatform_bus%3Dyes_is_present_in_Poland

Though OSM is far more bot-sceptical than Wikipedia or Wikidata
(*cough* mindless duplicates from bot-generated Cebuano "Wikipedia"
duplicating real entries *cough*)
