“The summit is perfect time for this wake-up call for France and Europe, and to show that we are in position”.
In recent weeks, Washington announced $ 500 billion in investment to manufacture an AI infrastructure and the release of a frugal but powerful generic AI model has focused brains in Europe.
Macron’s office said, “France” should not allow this revolution to pass it. ,

‘Stoke Confidence’
The voice of the AI Summit is “neither frightening, nor naive,” Macron’s AI messenger Anne Baurot told AFP.
Honoring the conference is therefore an opportunity for Paris to show its own AI ecosystem, the number of about 750 companies.
Macron’s office stated that the summit Wilde saw the announcement of “large -scale” investment on the lines of its annual “Chola France” trade conference, in 2024, inward investment of $ 15.4 billion was ply.
Beyond economic opportunities, the impact of AI on culture, including artistic creativity and news production, will be discussed in a side event over the weekend.
French Digital Minister Clara Chappaz said that the debate for the public, such as one, is aimed at showing “Stoke confidence and adoption speed” to cases of “positive use for AI”.
For now, the French public suspects AI, with a 79 percent response to the pollutant IFOP that they were “worried” about technology in a recent survey.
More ‘inclusive’ AI?
Paris says that the summit expects a more moral and accessible and low resource-S-class can help kick its approach.
Currently, “AI under development is pushed by some big players from some countries,” Bauverot said, where France wants “to promote more inclusive development”.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been invited for the co-conference of the Paris summit, which has been a push to bring governments on the board.
One of the objectives of the summit is the establishment of a public-blessing foundation for Paris that aims to raise $ 2.5 billion in five years.
“The effort will be a public-private partnership between various governments, businesses and philanthropic foundations of various countries,” Macron’s office said.
The Paris summit hopes to chart different efforts in the AI regime around the world and gather commitments to the environmentally sustainable AI – although no binding mechanism is planned for now.
Laure de Roussegond, director of the Geopolitical Center at the French Institute for International Relations, said, “A lot of large principles are emerging around the responsible, trusted AI, but not clear or easy for engineers in technical terms.” ,
