Open Source + AI Policy Happy Hour
Open source AI is in the spotlight, drawing growing attention from policymakers, researchers, industry, & civil society. Building on the momentum of Open Source AI Week, this event will bring together perspectives from across the community to think big picture about how we can advance an AI ecosystem that is open, secure, competitive, & innovative.
Through two conversations, well explore the policies & shared foundations shaping the future of open source AI, & where cross-sector collaboration can help move the ecosystem forward.
The Global Policy Landscape for Open Source AI
How can policymakers address emerging risks while preserving the ability to develop, release, study, & build on open AI systems?
Featuring policy, research, open source, & industry perspectives from experts on the U.S., Europe, & China, this conversation will explore how governments are approaching open models & open weights, where approaches are converging or diverging, & what those choices mean for security, competition, innovation, & open development.
