Artificial intelligence: France invests $ 109 billion
These February 10 and 11, France organizes the World Summit linked to artificial intelligence in the heart of Paris. For the occasion, many heads of state and government, entrepreneurs and influential high -tech bosses join the French capital. And Emmanuel Macron took advantage of the arrival of the event to give an interview centered around artificial intelligence for France 2. In the latter, he announces a massive (and unprecedented) investment in technology.
A long -term investment
109 billion dollars: this is the sum that Emmanuel Macron and the French government intend to deploy over several years to support the predominant French actors of technology. President Emmanuel Macron took the opportunity to compare this investment to that made by the United States, for their artificial intelligence project called “Stargate” (which generated an US government investment of $ 500 billion).
According to President Macron, artificial intelligence “will allow you to live better, learn better or even better care”. Thus, 100,000 young people will be trained in this field in France according to Emmanuel Macron (against 40,000 today). The long -term objective is to become competitive in the field, while regulating it: the French president compares the AI to social networks, indicating that “Behind social networks, there are algorithms that allow great things to do, but there are always biases so there is a need for transparency“. Regulation must be done”on the planet's scale“According to Emmanuel Macron, with”governments around the world that are committed to it“.
