Regulating AI without hindering the open-source boom
June 22, 2023 | Article
Rémi Bourgeot, Principal Economist for Europe with The Conference Board, recently spoke with a reporter at Atlantico, a leading French online news website, about the EU AI Act and how policymakers need to strike a balance in regulating the booming open-source AI scene. This interview was translated from the original French.
Insights
- The open-source community has become a key driver of AI development, challenging multinationals. It provides Europe with an opportunity to partly catch up with the US in generative AI, drawing on its scientific capabilities
- The EU is leading the indispensable effort to regulate AI, with its AI Act. However, despite exemptions, it still threatens the open-source scene
- Given the frantic pace of innovation in AI, policy makers need to build regulation on future-proof principles of reliability and transparency rather than overly meticulous criteria at risk of obsolescence
