CurrentAI

"The future of AI isn’t something that happens to us, it’s something we build together." At the AI Action Summit, I had the privilege of sharing a vision for AI in the public interest, one that is open, accountable, and built for impact. Artificial intelligence is shaping our societies. It determines who has access to healthcare, how economies grow, and whether technology expands opportunity or deepens inequality. Yet too often, the public interest remains an afterthought. Public-interest technology is both about preventing harm— and it’s about creating a better future. Imagine an organisation using AI that helps oncologists provide tailored treatments to their cancer patients. Imagine using AI as a spark for our children’s imagination, that fires up their creativity rather than dulls it. These are the kinds of possibilities we unlock when AI serves the many, not just the few. That’s why we launched CurrentAI, a global partnership bringing together governments, researchers, industry and civil society. Current AI will expand access to high-quality public and private datasets, invest in open-source tools, and develop systems to assess and evaluate AI’s social and environmental impact. #AIforPublicInterest #CurrentAI #AIActionSummit #PublicInterestAI

As world leaders discuss AI governance to unlock innovation, a group of countries, philanthropists and companies have come together to launch CurrentAI, a global foundation and incubator to advance AI as a public good. With an initial $400M endowment and ongoing support, this initiative will aim to fund projects that advance AI for the public interest—focusing on open datasets, smaller and more sustainable models, and fostering an AI accountability ecosystem: https://www.currentai.org/ I?believe this will be one of the most sustaining announcements from this week. I commend Martin Tisné, Vidushi Marda, Fanny Hidvégi?and French Summit Envoy Anne Bouverot for their tireless leadership to make this happen. I?look forward to engaging in discussions on how we can collectively drive this effort forward.

AI serving the public interest. For real. CurrentAI is launching today at #AIActionSummit to turn this catchphrase into concrete actions. With an initial investment of $400M and a broad coalition of governments, philanthropies, tech companies, and startups, this partnership aims at making key datasets accessible, building open tools, and ensuring accountability. Stay informed on: https://www.currentai.org/ Congratulations to Martin Tisné, Anne Bouverot, Arno Amabile, Fanny Hidvégi, Vidushi Marda, Alix Dunn, Ombeline Gras, Roxanne VARZA, all the partners, incl. John Palfrey, Vilas Dhar, Georges-Etienne FAURE, and the champions, incl. Anastasia Stasenko, Fidji Simo, Eléonore Crespo, Clem Delangue ?? among many others! Personal thanks to Martin Tisné for embarking me on the journey, right after my mat leave and as I had just decided to take a leap of faith and leave Google. #AIActionSummit

A highlight from Paris at the AI Action Summit, is the launch of Current AI by Martin Tisné and his team. The initiative is a landmark to ensure the positive realisation of the development of AI. Open, accessible and ethically governed AI models will empower researchers, entrepreneurs and policymakers to drive innovation where it matters most - from tackling life-threatening diseases to improving education, accessibility and sustainability. That's why I'm excited to be supporting the launch of Current AI today, a new global partnership committed to building AI in the public interest, alongside AI leaders such as Reid Hoffman, Clement Delangue, Patrick Pérez, Arthur Mensch, Jonas Andrulis & others. With an initial $400 million investment from the French government, philanthropies, and industry leaders such as Google & Salesforce, Current AI will fund open, accountable, and purpose-driven AI that prioritises transparency, fairness, and global equity. Focus areas include: ?? Expanding access to high-value datasets that drive solutions in health, education, and media in privacy preserving and safe way ?? Developing AI models that address real-world challenges. ?? Supporting open standards and tools to ensure AI remains accessible and adaptable. ?? Ensuring accountability through transparency, auditing, and public oversight. AI must serve the public good. It must be shaped by those who will be most affected by its development. We are committed to building AI that puts people first. A definite highlight of the AI Action Summit and a fantastic pledge of support from Macron and the French Government.

Coup d'envoi pour le #SommetActionIA à Paris ! ???? à cette occasion, le président de la République, Emmanuel Macron, a annoncé 109 milliards d'euros d’investissements privés fran?ais et étrangers?dans ce domaine.

AI is at a turning point. It holds the power to transform healthcare, education, and economic opportunity, but only if it is built with public interest at its core. That is why today I am delighted to be one of the 11 AI leaders (Eléonore Crespo, Fidji Simo, Arthur Mensch, Clem Delangue ??, Reid Hoffman and others) to support CurrentAI, a new global partnership committed to building AI in the public interest. The exponential growth of AI capabilities demands a fundamental shift from closed, proprietary systems to an ecosystem built on transparency and shared knowledge - a shift I've witnessed firsthand as a female founder who chose to challenge the status quo rather than conform to it. By championing open data and open innovation, I believe CurrentAI to be able to greatly democratize AI development, ensuring that transformative technologies become building blocks for larger communities. With an initial $400 million investment from governments, philanthropies, and industry leaders including pleias, CurrentAI will fund open, accountable, and purpose-driven AI that prioritizes transparency, fairness, and global equity. pleias is contributing the CommonCorpus to support the efforts of CurrentAI. CommonCorpus, that has been supported by The AI Alliance and the Ministère de la Culture) is as of today the biggest fully open dataset in the world that can be used for training Large Language Models, with its 2 trillion tokens! It fully embraces the values of diversity (this dataset is highly multilingual), ethics and regulation-compliance (it only contains data with permissive licences and is fully documented as desired by the EU AI Act). AI must serve the public good. It must be shaped by those who will be most affected by its development. We are committed to building AI that puts people first. CurrentAI addresses a critical inflection point in technological history - whether AI's future will be shaped by radical openness that enables humanity's collective progress, or stifled by the familiar patterns of gatekeeping that have consistently failed to recognize innovation when it doesn't fit the expected mold. pleias and myself personally are enthusiastic to contribute to the success of CurrentAI and its future projects for people-first AI.
