"At the last AI summit, there was really this kind of tension between the idea of safety and the idea of openness and open source, like they were some kind of binary opposites. And we made the case then that openness, the idea that, you know, technology can be transparent, everybody can see how it works, you can fix it, is actually the friend of safety. And at this summit, we’ve seen that turn around. There was just a launch of something called ROSTP. It’s a robust online safety tooling project. But it was John McKeown, Eric Schmidt and the former digital minister of Taiwan (Audrey Tang) talking about infrastructure that is open source, that lets us get rid of hate speech, that lets us get rid of, you know, child sexual abuse material. That’s the kind of stuff we need, like a common pool of software and data that we can use to solve human problems and make this stuff safe."

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Mark Surman, Mozilla President:
"I think people are taking the wrong message from the DeepSeek story and seeing it as a kind of China versus U.S. thing. And some people are calling it the Sputnik moment. But I’ve heard somebody call it the Toyota moment and that’s actually a much better description. This stuff can be made cheaper, it can be made better and it can come from surprising places. And really what it points to is that, there isn’t going to be just one source of AI from big companies. And so, I’m, you know, I see the DeepSeek moment as a kind of a harbinger that we’re going to see AI innovation coming from all corners of the planet."

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Mark Surman, Mozilla President:
"We are introducing a technology that even more than the internet is going to change our economy, our society, our democracies. And so right now, this summit feels little awkward, like we’re just kind of finding our way in them but we do need them. We need a place to figure out as humanity, as a global community, how do we want this to go? So even if last summit wasn’t perfect, this summit isn’t perfect, we need to have them. We need to keep going because AI needs to be in the hands of humanity. It needs to be controlled by us and that’s what this is about."

STORYLINE:
Mozilla (software company) president Mark Surman said on Monday at an AI summit in Paris that developing ideas to make artificial intelligence safe must be a priority.
Survan explained that software like those to combat sensitive issues such as hate speech and child sexual abuse material are "the kind of stuff we need."
"(We need) a common pool of software and data that we can use to solve human problems and make this stuff safe," said Surman during an interview with The Associated Press.
Asked whether the summits are helpful for the management of AI, Surman added that while immediate results are hard to achieve, it’s necessary to continue discussions.
"We need to keep going because AI needs to be in the hands of humanity, it needs to be controlled by us," stressed Surman.
Major world political leaders are meeting for the summit, where challenging diplomatic talks are expected while tech titans fight for dominance in the fast-moving technology industry.
High-profile attendees include U.S. Vice President JD Vance, on his first overseas trip since taking office, and Chinese Vice Premier Zhang Guoqing.
