Paris AI summit sees world leaders meet with tech figures for high-stakes talks AI Action Summit brings together industry and political leaders from nearly 100 countries.
“The Paris AI Action Summit is a pivotal moment to move beyond abstract debates about AI and focus on concrete, global actions,” Mitchell Baker, chairwoman of Mozilla, told The Independent.
France and Europe must seize the “opportunity” because AI "will enable us to live better, learn better, work better, care better and it’s up to us to put this artificial intelligence at the service of human beings,” he said.
France is to announce AI private investments worth a total of 109 billion euros ($113 billion) over the coming years, Macron said, presenting it as “the equivalent” of Trump's Stargate AI data centres project.
Nick Reiners, senior geotechnology analyst at Eurasia Group, noted an opportunity to shape AI governance in a new direction by “moving away from this concentration of power amongst a handful of private actors and building this public interest AI instead.".
