9h30 – 10h00 – Welcome (coffee / tea)
10h00 – 12h00 – Cyber x Open Source
The aim of this workshop is to assess the impact of the latest cybersecurity regulations (notably NIS 2 and the more recent Cyber Resilience Act) on Open Source players (companies and communities) and practices.
The workshop will be introduced and chaired by Benjamin Jean, and moderated with Arthur Hamonic and Clémence Lascombes (inno³). It will begin by presenting the work carried out in France for Open Source economic players, and will then propose a series of specific points to be addressed by the participants.
The following agenda is planned:
- Presentation of the interest of the subject and the study carried out in France on behalf of the CNLL (30min),
- shared discussions with the workshop participants in order to identify and specify the areas of work to be carried out collectively (30min),
- design of sub-groups and work by sub-groups based on a shared analysis framework (30 min),
- summary of contributions and conclusion.
12h00 – 13h30 – Lunch
13h30 – 15h30 – The AI Act and Open Source
The AI Act provides for exceptions applicable to “free and open source”. Sounds like good news. But what does “free and open source” mean and what does the AI Act apply to? The news over the past weeks leaves a sense of uncertainty about the meaning of “free and open source AI system”. Will this debate interfere with the applicability of the “free and open source” exceptions provided by the AI Act? This session will deepen these and other questions while trying to shed light on the hottest topic of the moment within the free and open source communities.
The following agenda is planned:
- Speakers (1 hour and 30 min)
- Carlo Piana – Open Source & IA
- Laura Garbati – AI and transparency in PA
- Marco Ciurcina – Free and open source exceptions in AI Act
- Round table (30min)
15h30 – 17h30 – From OSPO to EU, what are the next steps?
The European Union and many research organisations are pushing more and more for Open Science in publicly funded projects, something which aligns closely with open source principles. Open science is a wider concept, including open data, content, source and open research collaboration mechanisms, and raises several challenges in tension between regulatory obligations, confidentiality, and open licenses.
The following agenda is planned:
- Malcolm Bain: Open source licensing as a tool for open science
- Ludovica Paseri : Data Regulations, open data and open science
- TBD: research text and data mining exceptions – are they sufficient for open source AI?
17h30 – 18h30 – Going on a broader level (competition law, market regulation, etc.)
How does Open Source fit in the more and more complex view of the “market” by EU ? We could even go further and discuss theorical and concrete debate as Open Source public policies and competition vs Open/Proprietary Model from private ?
