EAIGG: Ethical AI Governance Group

AI is reshaping industries, governments, and everyday life—but are we guiding it in the right direction? At the AI Action Summit in Paris, Uber’s Global Head of AI Fairness & Policy, Sean Perryman, joined a panel to discuss one of the biggest challenges of our time: How do we ensure AI drives progress instead of amplifying risks? In this clip, Perryman reflects on the massive impact of AI and the responsibility we have to shape its future. Moderated by EAIGG Executive Director Anik Bose, the full discussion dives into the urgent need for responsible AI governance.

🚀 Open Source: The Key to Trust & Innovation in AI At a panel moderated by EAIGG Executive Director Anik Bose (Managing Partner, BGV) during the AI Action Summit, NVIDIA’s Leon Derczynski shared powerful insights on the role of open-source AI in driving innovation, trust, and security in the industry. 🔹 "Open source is an undeniably critical part of access to AI." 🔹 "It accelerates innovation and builds trust by exposing weaknesses before they become risks." 🔹 "The cybersecurity world learned this lesson—closed systems can lead to weaker, less trustworthy ecosystems." As AI continues to evolve, ensuring transparency, collaboration, and security through open-source frameworks will be essential. 🙏 A huge thank you to our incredible panelists for contributing to this critical discussion: Joanna Bryson – Professor of Ethics and Technology, Hertie School of Berlin Sean Perryman – Global Head of AI & Fairness Policy, Uber Nathalie Beslay – CEO & Co-Founder, naaia.ai Natasha Crampton – Chief Responsible AI Officer, Microsoft Leon Derczynski – Principal Scientist LLM Security, NVIDIA 💡 What are your thoughts?

Takeaways from the 2025 Paris AI Summit 1. Monopolization Concerns & European AI Sovereignty - The European Union is acutely aware of the risk of AI dominance by a handful of Big Tech companies, primarily from the US, and is taking aggressive steps to counterbalance this trend. The $200 billion AI investment initiative is a clear signal of the EU’s commitment to fostering homegrown AI innovation. Additionally, multi-billion-dollar investments in European data centers underscore efforts to establish AI infrastructure independent of US cloud giants. Open-source AI and startup ecosystems are now recognized as critical strategic levers to level the playing field, ensuring that AI development does not remain confined to large corporate entities. There is growing policy momentum toward mandating algorithmic transparency and creating publicly funded AI models that serve as viable alternatives to proprietary offerings from Silicon Valley. 2. Geopolitical Realignment & Shifting AI Alliances - Geopolitical undercurrents were palpable, with clear indications that Europe is rethinking its traditional AI dependencies. The current US political regime’s aggressive trade and technology policies have pushed Europe toward forming deeper AI collaborations with China and India. Notably, next year’s AI Action Summit will be hosted in India, signaling a shift toward a more multipolar AI landscape. Both China and India are poised to play a pivotal role in the AI supply chain, particularly in open-source AI models(e.g., China’s DeepSeek LLMs). These developments are part of a broader strategy to reduce reliance on US AI technology while maintaining access to cutting-edge capabilities. There is also increasing European interest in Taiwanese semiconductor independence, given its crucial role in AI hardware production. 3. Political Rhetoric vs. Actionable Strategy - While France, Germany, and the Netherlands all made vocal commitments to ensuring that Europe does not fall behind in AI, there remains a lack of clear, coordinated strategy beyond funding initiatives. The tone of many discussions reflected a mix of aspiration and anxiety, particularly as the US continues to dominate AI talent, compute resources, and foundational model development. Meanwhile, US Vice President JD Vance attempted to reframe the AI regulation debate—pushing for a shift from "AI safety" rhetoric (which has often centered on existential risks and model alignment) toward a "Responsible AI" approach that focuses more on national security, economic competitiveness, and ethical AI governance. This shift indicates that the regulatory battle over AI is far from settled and is increasingly shaped by ideological and geopolitical considerations. The Paris AI Summit reinforced that AI is no longer just a technological issue—it is now a pillar of geopolitical strategy, economic sovereignty, and digital power dynamics.

Had an exhilarating time at the Paris AI Summit where I moderated a panel discussion on Trustworthy AI, focusing on the delicate balance between innovation, responsibility, and democratization. Exciting news as I announced BGV’s upcoming release of a pioneering AI playbook, tailored to assist startup founders in navigating the human-centric, AI-driven innovation landscape. The event took an unexpected turn with a surprise visit from Macron, causing a security lockdown and a bustling traffic jam outside Station F. Grateful for the insightful contributions from panel members. Natasha Crampton Sean Perryman Leon Derczynski Joanna Bryson Nathalie Beslay A special thank you to the organizers, especially Laure de Clebsattel Key Takeaways: 1. AI technology innovation surpasses human and data-centric aspects like governance, privacy, security, and transparency. 2. Emphasizing the significance of Open Source for transparency, collaboration, and global innovation. 3. Highlighting the importance of defining risk within context and utilizing frameworks like ISO4021, the EU Act, NIST, etc., to ensure reduced bias, data utilization, security, and transparency. 4. Stressing the value of a Healthy Ecosystem in AI, involving both big tech and startups to ensure widespread benefits. Nations must invest in AI to stay competitive, exemplified by initiatives like the European AI factories plan. 5. Advocating for information sharing in the AI supply chain to build trust. Initiatives like the NVIDIA model card and Microsoft's ROOST (Robust Open Source Security Toolkit) contribute to enhancing the security of open-source software (OSS).
