"Responsible and sustainable use of AI" is suddenly relevant, worth lifting up. A year ago, for example, that framing felt like you were a backward-looking Luddite, as if caring about governance meant you weren't really a believer of great progress. Today it reads differently.

The concept of agency in artificial intelligence has become a focal point in both technical and public discourse. At Renessai, we have strongly argued that AI does not have agency at all, but, a closer look at both research and practical experience reveals a more nuanced reality. One could ponder even what is even the thinking we humans do.

Effective AI requires more than technical excellence. AI is at its best when designed for a global scale, but the different local regulatory rules hinder this utilisation and result in many missed opportunities.

We at Renessai call for value-sensitive global standards. This helps innovation and alignment, and ensures AI works for everyone, everywhere. And as we have already many standardisations in place, it should not be a hurdle to build one for AI either.
