Paris – The Global Artificial Intelligence Action Summit will open doors in Paris tomorrow, bringing 5,000 AI experts and 80 world leaders to the capital to discuss the latest developments in the world’s hottest technology I will.
They agree to many international protocols, announce large investments and adopt a joint declaration that is against sustainable, responsible AI, according to a series of documents obtained by Euractiv.
Imagine a game of the Parisian Games.
The summit pleads for serious questions about national security risks in areas where growth in AI technology is more hinged than ever, permeates everyday and industrial processes, and primarily in the US and China-controlled areas. Because it’s.
The meteor rise of Chinese startup Start-up Deepseek in January appears to outperform US competition in both computing power and cost-effectiveness, but the technology race between Beijing and Washington It’s just strengthened.
However, AI cannot be a “US-China-only conversation,” Elise’s advisor told Euractiv on conditions of anonymity. “If France and the EU can’t master this technology, we don’t exist.”
The summit is, in many ways, an implicit French and European bid for connections to AI governance, funding and security.
France’s big bet
Paris is already showing something for it.
Last Thursday, the UAE announced it would invest between 3-50 billion euros in large data centres across the country. This is equivalent to power sources for around 1 million homes.
France has always been trumpeting cheap, controllable, decarbonized nuclear energy as a selling point for AI investors.
According to documents seen by Euractiv, Paris will announce a new AI foundation to unveil a new AI foundation for more public funding, and a new AI foundation to provide dedicated funding So expect more blows and whistles.
The foundation is funded by the government by 50%, 25% per industry, and the last 25% by charities, but it is not yet clear how much cash will be awarded. Private investment.
However, one thing is certain: compared to the $500 billion investment in Stargate AI infrastructure projects, there is nothing.
Who is in the room?
This is the third global AI summit after London in November 2023 and after Seoul in May 2024.
“Paris will be home to all researchers, thinkers, investors, investors and business leaders working on the issue of AI,” Elise touted.
Heavyweights will be taking part in the event, including Dario Amodei from Anthropic, Sam Altman from Open Ai and Demis Hassabis from Google Deepmind.
Co-hosts Emmanuel Macron and India’s Narendra Modi are expected to snatch the floor, and are expected to show by political leaders of 80 countries and the EU’s Ursula von Leyen.
Additionally, according to a draft copy of the copy obtained by Euractiv, leaders say that joint declarations on ethical and sustainable AI, “the need for comprehensive multi-stakeholder dialogue” and “reinforce diversity in the AI ecosystem.” It is expected that you agree that you have enacted it.
The AI that the draft reads must be “human-rights-based, human-centric, ethical, safe, safe, reliable” and recognizes environmental risks. .
In fact, the wording of the declaration is watered down by its most consensual element. Still, we may not be able to get support as the Trump administration is busy dismantling diversity, equity and inclusion projects and overseeing substantial cuts in the deficit.
“We have been encouraged to make a declaration, but that’s not important,” read a note from the negotiation meeting of civil society lobbyists shared with Euractiv.
Investments and concrete actions will tell a more interesting story than the declaration, they explained.
Many other initiatives must be submitted, including textbooks on child protection and copyright laws for artists and journalists.
It is necessary to strengthen global partnerships in AI. This is an OECD-led cooperative forum that seeks to share the best national practices without becoming yet another regulatory authority.
“It’s not another regulatory body,” Elise confirmed, confirming that she fears that the EU will be seen again as stuck in regulation at the expense of innovation. “We shouldn’t over-adjust… we need to circumvent the approach.”
