Open or Closed? Who Gets to Shape the Future of AI

As foundation models become critical infrastructure, the choices about how they are built, governed and accessed matter far beyond model performance. Joshua Tan (Public AI / Current AI), Aldo Podesta (Giotto.ai) and Meriem Bendris (NVIDIA) discuss where open and closed approaches create value, what each enables or constrains, and whether AI infrastructure should ultimately be treated as a public good. Moderated by Alex Ilic, Executive Director of the ETH AI Center.
