AI summit in Paris: Europe's opportunity for world domination in the AI!

Paris, Frankreich - in Paris, the Artificial Intelligence Action Summit started today, which is organized by French President Emmanuel Macron. Around 1,500 participants, including high-ranking politicians and well-known entrepreneurs, are present, including the German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Austria is represented by interim chancellor Alexander Schallenberg and State Secretary Claudia Plakolm (both ÖVP) who stand up to the challenge of strengthening Europe's role in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), a sector that is currently dominated by companies from the USA and China href = "https://www.kleinezeitung.at/service/newsticker/aussenpolitik/19349137/kipfel-zu-kuenstlich-intelligenz-in-paris-besten"> Kleine Zeitung reported.

At the summit, the focus is on the potential use of AI in healthcare, as well as the formulation of global standards for the ethical use of this technology. Leading European companies are calling for a “drastically simplified regulatory framework” to make Europe a “world market leader” in AI development. In addition, nine countries have launched an initiative called "Current Ai" that aims to acquire up to $ 2.5 billion dollars to promote access to databases in critical areas such as health and education within the next five years, which indicates the efforts more securely and more transparently, as the Nachrichten.at reported.

investments and conversations

France announced massive investments in the AI sector, including 109 billion euros from a private sector, with significant projects such as a 20 billion euro investment by the Canadian company Brookfield. Schallenberg emphasized that artificial intelligence can "facilitate people's lives", but at the same time pointed out the need that ethical standards were observed. Plakolm is planning talks with other participants on digitization on Tuesday to further strengthen Austria's position in research.
