“I am a big open source advocate. Open source used to be the backbone — Rumman Chowdhury

"“When I joined Accenture for responsible AI, I saw the problem as a series of quantitative social science challenges. It was an amazing opportunity to think big, think globally, and start solving big problems"

"“I always say I’m not born of tech. I did not start my career in tech — I began working at nonprofits, public policy organizations, and even as an economist. That breadth of experience gives me a perspective on technology that goes beyond the usual tech world.”"

"With generative AI, the public can now simply ask, ‘Why is it that when I ask for five scientists, I only get men?’ and that’s where change begins"

"“Quantitative social scientists belong on these teams — not just to philosophize, but to translate abstract policy mandates into measurable, technical specifications."

"“AI is borderless like air. We need global regulation to tackle it, yet recent trends suggest a future of ‘sovereign AI’ with fragmented approaches across nations"

"“The shortest answer to a better AI future is choice. People need the ability to decide which algorithms affect their lives — whether they’re users or creators"
