AI leadership should be measured by how widely and safely the benefits are spread, not just who builds the most powerful models. Europe can plan a key role as a bridge to connect the US and China in ensuring AI is safe, and be the evaluation arm to keep them to their words. 💡🇪🇺

That’s the perspective I brought to the @TallinnSummit. Stimulating conversations about AI, governance, and how we move beyond rivalry toward shared prosperity. Grateful to be part of these important discussions in beautiful Tallinn. 🇪🇪

What a special experience in Wuzhen at the World Internet Conference. An honor to listen to Premier Li Qiang’s keynote, “Put people at the center of the AI era.” Key messages were: keep humans in charge, encourage “open” innovation, closing the digital divide by sharing AI to the global south, and the need for greater cooperation (especially around AI and safety). These are very positive signals leading up to the coming U.S.-China AI Dialogues. 🤝

I had stimulating conversations with China's AI community and local leaders, and spoke on a panel with esteemed experts on the future AI and why racing is not the path forward. The ancient water town was as beautiful as ever. 👍

Nobody can tell you today who is liable when an AI chatbot or agent causes harm in the real world.🚨

That gap shapes behavior. If the AI labs keep all the winnings and your losses get socialized, you bet bigger. Every hand by AI labs becomes an all-in hand. 🃏 When there is no downside, nobody has a reason to police themselves.

Clear liability laws isn't anti-innovation. It's what makes builders take risk seriously. And what builds trust with customers to want to diffuse faster!

Here more in my discussion with @sonusvarghese @RyanDetrick on the Facts and Feelings podcast. 🎙️

Looking forward to seeing many old friends at #WebSummit in Lisbon Nov 9-12. If you’re there, get in touch.

I’ll be speaking on “Open vs Closed AI”

Several global threats fueled by #AI are growing unchecked, and we're acting like it’s just another day! 🌎 ☄️ It feels like the “Don’t Look Up” movie in real-time. 👀

Cyber risk, bio-risks, economic bubble, AI misuse, geo-political tensions and the shocks that come with fast change are building like a tidal wave. Yet none of them is treated as a priority for society. We put our resources and effort into the next model launch and almost none into preventing the problems that could undo the progress.🚨

The fix isn't panic. It's preparation: shared early warning, real investment in resilience, and cooperation on the risks no country can handle alone.🤝
