GitHub CEO: The EU ‘Will Define How the World Regulates AI’

During the EU Open Source Policy Summit in Brussels, GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke shared insights on the EU’s upcoming AI Act, stating, “The AI Act will define how the world regulates AI and we need to get it right, for developers and the open-source community.” Originally from Germany and currently residing in the US, Dohmke is aware of the prevalent belief that Europe struggles to lead in tech innovation.

He expressed, “As a European, I love seeing how open-source AI innovations are beginning to break the narrative that only the US and China can lead on tech innovation.” Dohmke acknowledged the real concern that overregulation in Europe could stifle innovation, pushing startups to establish themselves in regions with fewer restrictions.

“AI will revolutionize nearly every aspect of our lives. Regulation must target minimizing risks associated with AI while maximizing its benefits,” he added. He emphasized that OSS (Open Source Software) developers would play a vital role in using AI to enhance lives, tackle climate change challenges, and save lives.

Dohmke underscored the significance of the AI Act, as it could serve as a global benchmark for AI regulation and is essential for Europe’s tech leadership. He advocates for exempting open-source developers from the Act, highlighting their often volunteer-driven efforts, where many juggle multiple jobs and lack extensive resources.

As EU lawmakers work towards draft AI rules, Dohmke encourages the support of open-source initiatives for the growth of AI innovation in Europe. “Let’s provide the open-source community with the opportunity and clarity they need to flourish!”
