Current AI is hiring an initial CEO.

We launched this partnership at the AI Action Summit in Paris to accelerate public-interest AI. Backed by over
$400 million, we bring together governments, philanthropies, & industry partners to fund open infrastructure, trusted data, & people-first tools

8/ I look forward to moving from principle to practice so that openness, transparency, and inclusive infrastructure become the backbone of AI worldwide.

7/ The Geneva round-table is an opportunity to connect that work with UN institutions, standards bodies, and governments shaping the global agenda.

Lived context must inform common rules for the rules to serve people and communities best.

6/ Current AI was built to turn these levers into action.

This year, we are launching pilot programmes focused on linguistic diversity, health & human welfare, and audits & accountability, showing how AI systems can be built and governed to deliver real social impact.

5/ Real-time public insights – continuous feedback on how AI affects schools, health, livelihoods, and trust and safety, so we stay focused on real-world benefits.

3/ Better data – high-quality, accessible, privacy-respecting datasets that let communities shape solutions in their own languages and contexts.

4/ An open ecosystem – tools, standards, and infrastructure that make working with open models as seamless as proprietary ones.

2/ At the AI for Good Global Summit I will join the AI Governance Dialogue to advance three integral levers for Public Interest AI:

Martin Tisné @martintisne.bsky.social · Jul 9

1/ AI governance starts with the outcomes that matter to people and with understanding what is working or not. 🧵

AI Governance Dialogue roundtable lunch

The AI for Good Global Summit 2025, led by ITU, brings top AI experts & decision-makers together to drive innovative AI solutions to solve global challenges.

13/ Thanks to POLITICO for convening such a thoughtful discussion.

If we want a future where AI serves the public, we need to shape & build it. We need to be clinicians.

12/ • @currentaioffical.bsky.social is working to build this approach - an ecosystem for AI that centres small models with specific use cases rather than large, multi-purpose ones, and the long-term public interest rather than private interests.

Martin Tisné @martintisne.bsky.social · May 19

11/ Let’s be practical - we need to know what is working (e.g. in AI and homecare), build the data flywheel that gives us those insights, and build from there. This is where we risk losing momentum.

Martin Tisné @martintisne.bsky.social · May 19

10/ • Making AI work for the benefit of all need not cost hundreds of billions.

We need better data and better feedback loops between policymakers and citizens. These are the early warning signals to know what is working and what is not, before it’s too late.

Martin Tisné @martintisne.bsky.social · May 19

9/ • Europe has a unique opportunity to lead by building open, accountable, and public infrastructure.

From benefiting from open source models to attracting talent and building at home, the momentum in Europe is real, but we all know it won’t last forever. The time to act is now.

Martin Tisné @martintisne.bsky.social · May 19

8/ Whether it endures will depend on which business model ultimately prevails—proprietary systems or open models embedded in AI products and services. For now, the outcome remains uncertain.

Martin Tisné @martintisne.bsky.social · May 19

7/ This openness has accelerated global uptake of AI models by enabling others to build on them and absorb upstream costs.

Martin Tisné @martintisne.bsky.social · May 19

6/ A few reflections I shared:

• China’s release of efficient, open-access models like DeepSeek reflects a strategic response to compute constraints and tightening US export controls.

1

Martin Tisné @martintisne.bsky.social · May 19

5/ Generative AI still lacks a real business model. Instead of chasing one, we must invest in what matters: systems built for impact, grounded in collaboration, and aligned with public purpose.

1

Martin Tisné @martintisne.bsky.social · May 19

4/ It’s time we apply the hard lessons from a decade of misfires in social media. That means building feedback loops that actually tell us how AI is impacting people on a day-to-day basis and focusing on outcomes - in other words, technology that improves lives, not just engagement rates.

1

Martin Tisné @martintisne.bsky.social · May 19

3/ As AI becomes a core issue of geopolitics, the real question isn’t which country is an “AI maker” or an “AI taker” but how, why, and for whom AI is built.

1

Martin Tisné @martintisne.bsky.social · May 19

2/ On a panel alongside Dr Pia Hüsch, Henry de Zoete, Dr Keegan McBride, and moderated by Tom Bristow, we explored what the emerging power dynamics between the US, China, & Europe mean for AI’s future and what kind of infrastructure is needed to build credible, public-interest alternatives.

1/ Grateful to join this timely conversation at the POLITICO AI & Tech Summit in London last week. 🧵
