Public AI and Europe’s Digital Sovereignty
This event will discuss how public AI models and applications can be developed in the European Union, as a core component of the AI Continent Action Plan. The event is co-hosted by MEP Michał Kobosko (Renew) and MEP Sergey Lagodinsky (Greens) with Bertelsmann Stiftung, Open Future, Mozilla Foundation, and Democratic Tech Alliance.
As Europe struggles with its dependency on American and Chinese AI models, Open Future's research offers an alternative vision: public AI is a vision of developing European, open source AI models that can spur innovation, support the public interest, and generate economic value. The event will discuss how public AI models and applications can be developed in the European Union, as a core component of the AI Continent Action Plan.
During the event, speakers will present examples of open source AI development and public AI solutions. They will present recommendations on how the European AI Continent Action Plan can support public AI in Europe, and discuss what more needs to be done.
Open Future will also present a new policy brief—produced with Bertelsmann Stiftung—exploring pathways for developing public and sovereign AI solutions in Europe.
