POSAIS is the 1st event dedicated to Open Source AI.
The aim of POSAIS is to bring together high-level decision-makers from the main international institutions, leading scientists and researchers from public and private laboratories, community leaders and entrepreneurs to discuss the opportunities, risks, regulations, governance and challenges associated with Open Source AI.
- Through discussions and workshops, we aim to make Open Source AI tangible and accessible to all, while demonstrating its recent successes. Participants will also exchange ideas on how Open Source AI can address global challenges, including providing AI solutions that benefit humanity, with a focus on the Global South, with the aim of finding a path towards building universal AI. The summit will focus on the public policies and actions needed to harness the positive potential of Open Source AI.
- As part of the ‘Road to the Summit’ initiative, POSAIS is a key precursor to the AI Action Summit to be held on 10 and 11 February 2025, under the French Presidency.
- By focusing on Open Source AI, we hope to pave the way for broader discussions on the societal, economic and governance impacts of AI.
The aim is to produce actionable, concrete recommendations to help make the next Paris AI Action Summit a success.
