PEReN, short for Pôle d’Expertise de la Régulation Numérique, is a French national public service body in the digital regulation sector. Affiliated with France's public sector, it specializes in providing technical regulatory support for digital platforms and artificial intelligence to French public authorities at all levels, with a focus on cutting-edge, sovereign and shareable professional technical services.
PEReN's core business is fulfilling the technical needs of French public regulatory authorities, covering everything from algorithm auditing and data analysis to the development of innovative regulatory tools. Its most notable feature is that all of its public outputs, including research reports and tool code, are released as open source, to pursue transparency and collaboration in the regulatory process. It has already published cutting-edge research on high-profile topics including energy consumption measurement for generative AI and the addictive functional mechanisms of digital platforms, and all of its findings are open to the public for viewing.
On the plus side, as an official public research institution, PEReN's research findings carry strong authority and highly credible data. All content is openly accessible with no access barriers, and its open source model also makes it easy for researchers around the world to reuse its work. Its drawbacks are clear: the institution only serves domestic French public sector entities, and does not provide customized services to external parties; the entire website only supports French, which creates a significant language barrier and makes it unfriendly to non-French speakers.
The website is currently directly accessible from mainland China. Researchers in China working in digital governance and AI regulation can freely view its open research reports for reference material. For regular domestic users with no relevant service needs, the language barrier will also negatively impact the user experience.
