Kevin Xu heads back to GitHub HQ for an Open Source AI + Policy happy hour alongside Mozilla co-founder Mitchell Baker, moderated by GitHub VP of Developer Policy Mike Linksvayer — 330+ already registered.
The first panel covers the global policy landscape for open source AI: how the U.S., Europe, and China are approaching open models and open weights, where regulatory approaches converge or diverge, and what that means for security, competition, and innovation. Baker is now an Expert Fellow at the AI & Society Institute at École Normale Supérieure (Paris); Xu writes the Interconnected newsletter and formerly led global expansion strategy at GitHub.
