Panel: Why Open Source AI Matters for Europe - Justin Colannino, Microsoft; Sachiko Muto, OpenForum Europe; Stefano Maffulli, Open Source Initiative; Cailean Osborne, The Linux Foundation
Wednesday September 18, 2024 11:55 - 12:35 CEST
Hall M1 (Level 1)
Open source brings the promise of an AI market that is decentralised, competitive, user-centric, and where Europe leads. With this explosion, open source communities and policymakers are asking questions about open source AI’s innovation benefits, safety risks, impact on sovereignty, and competitive economics against closed-source models. In this fireside chat, OSI board member and Microsoft open source lawyer Justin Colannino will interview OFE's Sachiko Muto, OSI's Stefano Maffulli, and LF’s Cailean Osborne about why a clear and consistent definition of open source AI matters for open source communities in the face of growing EU policy tending towards greater open source regulation. We will focus on how truly “open source” in AI manifests in practice and how can it be can bolster European competitiveness while keeping true to all of our open source values.
