    The AI Gold Rush: Models Are Shovels, Data Is the Gold | RAISE Summit 2026

    Gareth Davies, Will Bryk, Dmitry Panenkov, Mark Surman, Alex Bouzari, Akhil Ahuja

    This panel features industry leaders from Okta, DDN, Mozilla, Emma, and Exa discussing the strategic pivot from model-centric AI to a data-driven economy where proprietary data quality and security determine competitive advantage. Experts highlighted critical infrastructure challenges, noting that 48% of enterprises fail to secure AI agents while emphasizing the urgent need for sovereign data solutions and fair data markets to unlock the exponential costs of agentic inference. The discussion concluded that future enterprise success relies on "data network effects" and robust governance frameworks, as organizations transition from experimental sandboxes to production environments driven by headless, agent-based architectures.

    AI and Open Source: Shaping Each Other's Future | RAISE Summit 2026

    Raj Dutt, Mark Surman, Oskari Saarenmaa, Gideon Mendels, Charles Zedlewski, Olivier Huez

    Leaders from Grafana, Mozilla, Comet, and Together AI convened to define the distinctions between open source and open weight models while debating licensing strategies like AGPL to secure commercial viability against hyperscalers. The panelists analyzed how economic models must balance community adoption with value capture, emphasizing that trust in infrastructure and continuous innovation often drive revenue more than proprietary feature locks. Looking forward, the group predicted a self-reinforcing cycle where AI models trained on open code will increasingly recommend open source solutions, ensuring the ecosystem's dominance despite rising tensions over economic commoditization.

    Who Controls AI? The Open Source Imperative | Arthur Mensch, Mistral AI | RAISE Summit 2026

    Arthur Mensch, Mark Surman, Henri Delahaye

    Speakers Arthur and Marc outline a strategic framework for artificial intelligence sovereignty that prioritizes domestic compute security, affordability, and sustainability to mitigate economic inequality and social unrest. They identify open source technology as a critical mechanism for nations to retain control over essential infrastructure, preventing foreign dependency while fostering a global ecosystem where open components serve as the dominant building blocks within the next decade. Although this shift from proprietary chatbots to shared infrastructure is widely anticipated, the speakers warn that realizing this future requires sustained research funding and coordinated interoperability to overcome significant capital and partnership challenges.
