"It is really important that Europe come up with an open source European-led model. The U.S. companies are largely moving to closed source, which means they'll be purchased and licensed.

Eric Schmidt served as Google's CEO and executive chairman and remains active as CEO and investor in aerospace firm Relativity Space. At Davos he said Europe lacks an AI strategy and will resort to Chinese models unless it invests heavily in domestic solutions. Schmidt argued that U.S. firms are shifting to closed-source models that will be sold under licenses, while China favors open-weight, open-source models with leading Chinese models available openly. He urged Europe to develop and fund an open-source, European-led model to avoid technological dependence and maintain competitive sovereignty.
