At the AI summit in Paris, French President Emmanuel Macron announced an upcoming European AI strategy aimed at revitalizing the continent’s position in the AI sector. He emphasized the need for streamlined processes and a commitment to timelines, drawing parallels to the rapid reconstruction of Notre Dame. Macron highlighted France's plans to invest approximately $113 billion in AI, alongside its status as a leading nuclear power producer, positioning the country as a prime location for AI-driven industries that require substantial energy resources. India co-hosts the event, underscoring its role in the evolving global AI landscape.
"We showed the rest of the world that when we commit to a clear timeline we can deliver," Macron said at the Grand Palais in Paris.
Macron made repeated reference to French plans to invest 109 billion (roughly $113 billion) in AI in the coming years.
Here, there is no need to drill. It's plug, baby, plug."
The Artificial Intelligence Action Summit's co-host nation is India, with Narendra Modi among the high-profile guests expected in Paris on Tuesday.
